Abstract:
A 7 month old West Highland White Terrier was presented with anorexia and vomitus since 4 days. On physical examination the dog was depressed, febrile and showed abdominal pain. During abdominal ultrasonographic examination a pylorogastric intussusception was suspected and this was confirmed subsequently by gastroscopy. The invaginated pylorus could be repositioned without complications using the endoscope. The dog recovered completely and without recurrence. A pylorogastric intussusception is a rarely diagnosed cause of an acute abdomen that can be resolved with a minimal invasive procedure.
