Chronic gastric instability (CGI), potentially part of the gastric dilatation and volvulus (GDV) syndrome, was identified in four free-ranging Virginia opossums () treated at the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center of Minnesota in Roseville, Minnesota. These individuals displayed lack of expected weight gain, inappetence, gastric gas distension, and delayed gastric emptying time. One was diagnosed with GDV via diagnostic radiology, whereas the other three were diagnosed with suspected CGI using radiographs, ultrasound, and confirmed with exploratory surgery.

This study aims to report the dietary and daily management, clinical signs, complementary exams, and pathological findings related to an acute and fatal case of gastric dilatation and volvulus (GDV) in a captive Linnaeus's two-toed sloth () in the Amazon Biome. An adult female sloth, rescued after being electrocuted, was housed at the Wildlife Section of the Veterinary Hospital (WSVH) of the Institute of Veterinary Medicine (IVM) at the Universidade Federal do Pará (UFPA). It was fed a diverse diet that included animal protein, fruits, vegetables, and greens, with vitamin and mineral supplementation.

Gastric remnant volvulus following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery is rare, with only two previously reported cases. Herein, we present the first case of gastric remnant volvulus following gastric sleeve conversion to RYGB in a 32-year-old female. Management for gastric remnant volvulus has not been clearly described in the literature due to the rarity of cases; however, previously documented cases of gastric remnant volvulus following RYGB were managed with gastropexy or resection of the gastric remnant.

Dermatosparaxis Ehlers Danlos syndrome (dEDS) is a very rare monogenic EDS that occurs due to biallelic pathogenic variants in ADAMTS2. Fifteen individuals with dEDS have been reported in the literature, with the oldest being 19 years at follow-up. Given the lack of information regarding adults with dEDS, our aim was to describe adults with dEDS to inform management recommendations in adulthood.

Introduction: Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a rare developmental anomaly where a defect in the diaphragm allows abdominal organs to migrate into the thoracic cavity, impairing lung function. While typically identified in neonates, delayed presentations, though uncommon, can complicate diagnosis and treatment. Early detection is vital to prevent severe complications such as organ strangulation or perforation.
