The detail information of Intussusception
Basic Information

Disease Description: A serious condition where the intestinal tract telescopes in on itself.

Inherit Mode: -

Disease Symptom: The most common signs of intussusception are vomiting, diarrhea, fever, lethargy, and abdominal pain. Astroesophageal intussusception is rare in dogs and most often occurs in the German Shepherd Dog. Most dogs with gastroesophageal intussuception have severe clinical abnormalities, including collapse, respiratory difficulties, and shock.

Disease Cause: -

Disease Diagnose: Although plain radiography may not always lead to a specific diagnosis of intussusception, the use of ultrasonography along with radiography helps to establish a definitive diagnosis.

Treat Method: If intussusception is diagnosed, immediate surgery is necessary to correct the invagination and to remove any dead portions of the bowel that may be present.The prognosis is usually guarded to poor because of complications. Double intestinal intussusception is a rare occurrence in dogs. Timely diagnosis with typical clinical signs and ultrasonographic findings, effective management of blood abnormalities, and immediate surgical intervention can improve the prognosis for these cases.Deworming and other treatment of any underlying disease may prevent recurrence.
