After a full gastric torsion with complete inflow and outflow obstruction, I would estimate the maximum survival time with no intervention at 12 hours. However, once the torsion occurs, there is decreased blood flow and nerve damage accumulating from the first minute, so even if you get the stomach flipped back around the odds of surviving to discharge from the vet clinic is about 50%, and drops rapidly as the dog's blood chemistry values get out of balance.

Irish setters have a life expectancy of12-14 years. Their health concerns are hip dysplasia, gastric torsion, and progressive retinal atrophy (PRA).
One southern Gastric Brooding frog has lived in captivity for 3 years.
Due to the nature of the location of the testes, infection is likely to set in within 2-3 weeks. This will cause excruciating pain and surgery will be necessary to prevent septicemia.
rottweilers usally live about 10 years and they are prone to cancer and torsion bloat,very common in large chested breeds. Mine never lasted more than 7yrs and they were well taken care of..
My 1995 Ford Explorer 4x4 has ( 2 ) torsion bars on the ( front suspension ) They are the long horizontal bars instead of having coil springs
A torsion bar is used in an auto suspension. A torsion bar suspension, also known as a torsion spring suspension or torsion beam suspension, is a general term for any vehicle suspension that uses a torsion bar as its main weight bearing spring. One end of a long metal bar is attached firmly to the vehicle chassis; the opposite end terminates in a lever, the torsion key, mounted perpendicular to the bar, that is attached to a suspension arm, a spindle, or the axle. Vertical motion of the wheel causes the bar to twist around its axis and is resisted by the bar's torsion resistance. The effective spring rate of the bar is determined by its length, cross section, shape, material, and manufacturing process.
The average cost of gastric bypass surgery is $25,000. Cost can vary depending on the procedure and how long your hospital stay is.
3-4 weeks
Gastric bypass is a surgery that you should think long and hard about. There are many pros and cons to the surgery. http://www.topdiets.com/gastricbypasssurgery.html
The main fear of gastric bypass surgery is that you might need long term specialized care. Especially if you develop an infection.
Depending on the axis of rotation, it would be either a vovulus (rotation on the long axis) or a torsion (rotation perpendicular to the long axis).
