Torsion, also called bloat, in the Irish Wolfhound is extremely serious and can be fatal if not treatment immediately.  The ailment is variously referred to as Gastric Torsion and Gastric Dilatation Volvulus or GDV.

About Gastric Torsion

Gastric torsion is a condition founded in all deep-chested breeds of dogs.   The condition arises when excessive gas build up in the stomach of the hound leads to overstretching of the organ.  The stomach can become twisted in the worst case; in this condition, bloat is more correctly referred to as Gastric Dilatation Volvulus, gas cannot escape but may continue to accumulate leading to a fatality.  In fact, the prognosis for the condition, even if treatment is received is not good.  The mortality rate varies from 10 to 50 percent.  The incidence of death can be reduced sharply with surgery.

Pneumonia is serious and life-threatening condition in Irish Wolfhounds.  Immediate treatment is recommended.

About Pneumonia

Pneumonia is an illness characterized by an inflammation of the lungs.  The illness has a number of possible origins including bacterial, parasitic or viral infection.  Pneumonia can often result from exposure to other ailments.  For example, Wolfhounds exposed to kennel cough or the distemper virus may, in some cases, develop pneumonia.   These factors don't have to be present.  A Wolfhound can develop pneumonia from other sources.  in Wolfhounds the cause may be idiopathic, that is unknown, and studies are underway to determine how otherwise healthy animals of this breed develop this illness: a point that should be discussed with the attending veterinarian.

All drugs have side effects.  These side effects, adverse events if serious enough, aren't necessarily identical for each person.  When it comes to dogs, there is variety among different breeds.  Wolfhounds have quirks and there are some drugs that should, if possible, be avoided.  Listed below is information taken from various breeders about drugs that might trigger adverse events in the Irish Wolfhound.  As always, it's important–actually critical–to follow the advice of your informed veterinarian.  This list should be viewed as something for information only–a starting point for discussion.

Gingival Hyperplasia or Gingival Enlargement is an increase in size of the gingiva (the gums).   The enlargement can occur for a variety of reasons but the most common reason is chronic inflammation.   This type of enlargement occurs when the gingiva or gums are exposed to bacterial plaque.  The gums can enlarge to the extent that they completely cover the teeth, particularly the front teeth in the lower jaw. Around 80% of dogs older than about five years of age have some kind of periodontal problem.
