Diagnosis and Management of Normograde Ileocaecocolic Intussusception in a Pup

A mongrel pup was presented with history of anorexia, melena, dyschezia and prolapsed mass protruding out from anus. Tachycardia, abdominal pain and dehydration were present on physical and clinical examination. Ultrasonographic study revealed characteristic bull's eye appearance extending from rectum to hypogastric region. Immediate midline celiotomy was performed and condition was manually reduced. Necrosed portion of caecum was removed surgically (typhelectomy) and ileopexy was done in order to prevent reoccurrence. Animal recovered fully 14^th day after the surgery with normal feed and water intake as reported by the owner.
