Abstract

The clinical study was conducted on seven young dogs presented with anorexia, weight loss, straining, bloody faeces, vomiting, diarrhoea, distended abdomen and prolapse of mass from anus. Dogs were emaciated, dull, dehydrated with prolapsed intussusception segment from anus in three dogs. Based on clinical and ultrasonographic examination, dogs were tentatively diagnosed as intussusception. Ventral midline celiotomy was performed under general anaesthesia. The intussusception part was taken out of the laparotomy wound. Out of seven dogs, single intussusceptions found in two dogs and double intussusceptions found in five dogs. In six dogs, intestinal resection and anastomosis and in one dog enteroenteropexy were performed. Post-operatively, the animals were managed on fluid therapy, liquid and semi-solid diet along with peri-operative case. Eventless recovery was observed in five dogs and two dogs died post-surgery.
