Gastric bypass (GBP) is any of a group of similar operative procedures used to treat morbid obesity, a condition which arises from severe accumulation of excess weight in the form of fatty tissue, and the health problems ("co-morbidities") which result. If you are considering gastric bypass or have had it, join the community where we share our experiences and find support.
I have two westies and they are so much fun and joy to have as my family. Maggie age 14 1/2 and ZOOM! age 7. Both are dogs I adopted from rescue groups. I lost my first westie, Winston, last year Labor Day weekend, he was 15 and I had him since he was 6 weeks old. He had kidney disease and I did sub q fluids at home and all kinds of things to help him but in the end his little body was just worn out after 15 1/2 years. He opened the world of dog training and dog sports to me. It was tough loosing him but I knew it was the right thing to do.
Please let us know how the pup is doing and if you went to the vet and what they said.
