Article Synopsis
  • A 5-month-old male Labrador retriever presented with anorexia and vomiting, and imaging showed a mechanical obstruction in the jejunum and peritoneal effusion.
  • Surgical exploration revealed a severely constricted section of the jejunum caused by a unique fibrous band of tissue, which was removed along with the affected bowel segment.
  • The dog fully recovered, and the band was identified as an idiopathic congenital anomaly; this case highlights the need to consider developmental abnormalities in young animals with gastrointestinal obstruction symptoms.

Neoplasia of the tubular genital tract in goats, while rarely described, is most commonly reported as uterine adenocarcinoma, leiomyoma, or leiomyosarcoma. In this retrospective, single-center, case series, medical records were searched for goats with a computed tomography (CT) diagnosis of tubular genital mass and a definitive histologic (surgical biopsy or necropsy) diagnosis of malignant neoplasia. Data recorded from CT images were presence of peritoneal/retroperitoneal fluid, urinary tract obstruction, abdominal lymphadenomegaly, additional abdominal nodules/masses, and pulmonary nodules.

In this retrospective case series, patients were identified by searching sonographic reports for "muscularis" and/or "muscular layer." Patients were included if small intestinal muscularis thickening was reported, and sonographic images and histopathological samples of the small intestine were available for review.

A 2-month-old, intact male Merino sheep was presented for acute inappetence and pyrexia. Contrast-enhanced abdominal computed tomography identified reticulorumenal intramural gas with suspected ruminal ulceration, arborizing portal venous gas, and mild peritoneal fluid. The lamb was treated medically for presumptive ulcerative reticulorumenitis and non-septic peritonitis.
