RESUMO
The diagnosis and treatment of double intestinal intussusception in 3 pups with persistent vomiting, diarrhea, dehydration, anemia, leucocytosis, and electrolyte imbalance are described. Ultrasonography confirmed intussusception and laparotomy revealed double intussusceptions. Intussusceptions were corrected by manual reduction in 1 pup and intestinal resection and anastomosis in 2 pups. Two pups survived and 1 pup died on the 4th day after surgery.
RésuméDiagnostic échographique et gestion chirurgicale de l'intussusception intestinale double chez 3 chiens. Le diagnostic et le traitement d'une intussusception intestinale double chez 3 chiots avec des vomissements persistants, de la diarrhée, de la déshydratation, de l'anémie, de la leucocytose et un déséquilibre électrolytique sont décrits. L'échographie a confirmé l'intussusception et une laparatomie a révélé des intussusceptions doubles. Les intussusceptions ont été corrigées par une réduction manuelle chez 1 chiot et une résection intestinale et une anastomose chez 2 chiots. Deux chiots ont survécu et 1 chiot est mort le quatrième jour après la chirurgie.(Traduit par Isabelle Vallières).

The present study was conducted on 101 animals suffering from thoracoabdominal disorders; out of which twenty seven animals (twenty six buffaloes and one cow) were diagnosed with diaphragmatic hernia based on clinical signs, radiography, ultrasonography, and left flank laparorumenotomy. Radiography alone confirmed diaphragmatic hernia in 18 cases (66.67%) with a sac-like structure cranial to the diaphragm. In 15 animals the sac contained metallic densities while in three cases a sac-like structure with no metallic densities was present. Ultrasonography was helpful in confirming diaphragmatic hernia in 23 cases (85.18%) and ultrasonographically reticular motility was evident at the level of 4th/5th intercostal space in all the animals. B+M mode ultrasonography was used for the first time for diagnosis of diaphragmatic hernia in bovines and the results suggested that ultrasonography was a reliable diagnostic modality for diaphragmatic hernia in bovines.
