Untitled[edit]

I'm seeing two things here, one being expansion of the stomach due to gas and the other being twisting/torsion of the stomach. these would almost seem to be mutually exclusive. Also, where's the article on simple mild bloating like humans experience?

I see that someone has added a clarification about your first question. For the second-- There is a List of diseases that lists Gas/bloat syndrome, but that article doesn't exist. Meanwhile, there are articles on flatulence and on burping, which might cover the topic somewhat. Elf | Talk 22:08, 25 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

This is an old question but I wanted to clarify. Gastric dilation volvulus always involves twisting of the stomach; signified in the nomenclature by volvulus. GDV is a serious condition that requires prompt treatment whereas gastric dilation occurs frequently after eating, or with aerophagia, and is usually of no consequence.

Picture[edit]

The following image was removed from the article:

on the grounds that its shock value was inappropriate.

As I see it, Wikipedia doesn't censor images as such, but that said I'm not sure this image adds much to the article, not being a specialist or vet. It may add a lot or be useful or interesting; it could also be a picture that just doesn't add much.

Could someone advise if this image would be interesting or useful to readers, as it is this question, which should determine whether it should be retained. (RFC also filed for wider views) FT2 ^{(Talk | email)} 14:52, 20 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Before I realized that this had been added to this talk page, I already posted something on the talk page of the user who removed the image. To reiterate what I said there, I think the encyclopedic value of the image on the bloat page is questionable, so I don't have a problem with it being removed. However, if there was an article on splenic necrosis, it would be appropriate there. Just because the picture may have come from a dead dog (although that's not the case here) is not a good reason to remove it. --Joelmills 03:10, 21 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

In my opinion, this picture of splenic necrosis is appropriate in the article. However I accept that some readers might find it distasteful, hence a warning should be added to the top of the page (similar to gangrene). As an aside, I was interested to know what animal this spleen came from, as it has a different shape to a human spleen. I had to dig around in the Wikimedia Commons page to find this (i.e. from a dog). Axl 12:55, 21 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I guess that probably should have been in the description of the image. I just added it. That photo is of the distal third of a dog's spleen, and the swelling at the end is due to the necrosis. --Joelmills 16:08, 21 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Joel. On reviewing gangrene, I see that the warning has been removed. I shall investigate. Axl 08:25, 22 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Too Many Pictures[edit]

Honestly, there are four pictures on this article, but three of them are practically identical. Some of them need to be removed. Wise dude321 (talk) 19:37, 9 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
