Surgical diseases of the small intestine.
Surgical disorders of the gastrointestinal tract of cattle occur occasionally, and veterinarians are challenged to determine an accurate diagnosis and treatment for these conditions. Although surgical diseases most commonly occur in the forestomachs (dislocated abomasum, reticuloperitonitis) and the colons (cecal dilatation), this article focuses on lesions in the small intestine (duodenum, jejunum, ileum).
