This study evaluated the association between a selection of candidate predictor variables, including the elevation of specific pancreatic enzymes, and outcome in dogs with gastric dilatation-volvulus (GDV). Twenty-two dogs with gastric dilatation-volvulus were included, being classified as...

Vomiting, often caused by mechanical intestinal obstruction, is common in dogs. Equivocal radiographic signs often necessitate repeat radiographs or additional imaging procedures. For our prospective, case-controlled, accuracy study, we hypothesized the following: (1) using computed tomography...

Gastrointestinal lymphoma accounts for approximately 7 per cent of all canine lymphomas. It is typically associated with a poor prognosis when localised to the gastrointestinal tract.

In this experiment, 24 dogs were randomly divided into experimental group and control group for canine intestine end operation recovery from anastomosis. The experimental group was manipulated with simple suture and fibrin glue, while the control group was only routinely sutured. By recording the...

Small intestinal foreign body obstructions occur commonly in dogs, accounting for 80% of all canine intestinal obstructions. Such obstructions induce local aberrations in secretion, absorption, and intestinal motility that can precipitate devastating systemic consequences, including a systemic...

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the usefulness of noncontrast abdominal CT and abdominal ultrasonography for the detection of mechanical gastrointestinal obstruction in dogs and compare intestinal diameter ratios between dogs with and without obstruction. DESIGN: Controlled trial. ANIMALS: 16 client-owned ...

A 2-year-old, male German Shepherd dog with a history of chronic diarrhea was presented for restlessness and vomiting 4 hours after chewing a plastic container with methylene-diphenyl-diisocyanate (MDI)-based glue. Clinical examination revealed dehydration, fever and a large painful rigid mass in...

Common cause of bowel obstruction in dogs is due to intussusception. This study documents clinical findings in a six month old male Labrador brought with a history of food and water, emaciated, dull and depressed. Abdominal palpation revealed pain on palpation and gritty particles were felt in the ...

Five clinical cases of gastro-intestinal tract obstruction in male dogs were presented to Referral veterinary polyclinic, IVRI. Highlights focused on diagnosis and treatment of animals. One case was presented with complaint of hypersalivation and open mouth breathing. Clinical examination revealed...
