The present study was conducted on 30 cattle presented at the institutional veterinary hospital which were diagnosed of suffering for the small bowel intussusception. Detailed signalment including age, sex, breed, pregnancy status and season were recorded in all the animals. History of feed and water intake, defecation status, rumination status, type of feeding, any recent change in feed, history of deworming and feeding of mineral mixture was also signs such as signs of colic, abdominal distension, rumen impaction, laboured breathing and ruminal bloat were accessed. Thorough physical examination was done in all animals to record rumen motility (2/ 3 minute), rectal temperature (°F), heart rate (beats/ min), respiratory rate (breaths/ min), dehydration status, status of mucus membrane. Through Trans- rectal examination palpation of Intussuscepted mass, Status of rumen, colour and consistency of rectal contents were accessed. Ultrasonography of abdomen was done in 17 cases in which intussusception mass were not felt on trans-rectal examination for the lesions indicative of intussusception. Histopathological examination was done in all the 30 animals. For histopathology tissue samples were taken either just proximally or distally from surgically resected intussuscepted mass. | Clinicophysiological, ultrasonographic and histopathological evaluation of 30 cases in cattle suffering from small bowel intussusception
