Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
The records of 84 cows with cecal dilatation or cecal volvulus were reviewed. The diagnosis was made by exploratory laparotomy or necropsy in 21 cows with cecal dilatation, and in 45 cows with cecal volvulus. Eighteen of the cows with cecal dilatation responded to medical management and the diagnosis was made by physical examination alone. The most useful criteria for determining that surgery was necessary were the presence of a high heart rate, apparent abdominal pain, scant or absence of feces, and the apex of the cecum rotated cranially on rectal examination. The prognosis for cattle with cecal dilatation and volvulus was good following medical therapy or decompression at surgery unless there was severe vascular compromise of the cecum. There was a 10% recurrence rate, and in these cows a partial typhlectomy was performed. |
