Abstract:
A 7-week-old, female Siberian husky was presented to Murdoch University Veterinary Hospital with an acute onset of respiratory distress and regurgitation. Thoracic imaging identified an intraluminal esophageal mass with concurrent aspiration pneumonia. Esophagoscopy identified the mass as stomach, and a diagnosis of gastroesophageal intussusception was made. The intussusception was reduced endoscopically, and fixation of the stomach to the abdominal wall was performed using a tube gastropexy. Gastroesophageal intussusception is an uncommon disease in small animals and traditionally has been managed surgically. This case report describes an alternative method of treatment associated with a good outcome in this puppy.
