Localised mid-jejunal volvulus following intussusception and enteroplication in a dog.
Ileocolic intussusception was successfully treated surgically by partial enterectomy and enteroplication in an 11-month-old, male neutered German shepherd dog. Segmental intestinal volvulus was identified in the same dog two months later and was managed successfully by a second partial enterectomy. The dog made an uneventful recovery and was free of clinical disease six months after the second surgery. Both conditions are reviewed in this case report and a possible relationship between these two episodes in this dog is discussed.
