50kg dog undergoes laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy
In what could be a first-of-its-kind surgery, a laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy was performed recently on an eight-year-old dog weighing 50 kg. Deepika, an Indie cross breed, was adopted by Yasmin Daruwalla, a resident of Pune. “Initially, she was quite active. Would run around the house, play with me, and go for walks. Gradually, she lost interest in all activities, would just sit on the couch, salivating and panting severely,” she said.More Related News
