“…Postmortem findings are suggestive of circulatory shock, which is of known significance in documented cases of bloat in other species. 3,15 Based on histologic examination of the stomach and small intestine, the gastric distention is believed to be due to gas accumulation and bacterial overgrowth, although the etiology of this is unknown. Although gastric obstruction was not suspected in these cases, the presence of bedding within the stomach in one case is of unknown significance and may have been contributory to gastric pathology.…”

“…Gastric dilation, with or without volvulus, typically presents rapidly and requires immediate medical or surgical intervention. 3 Risk factors considered in dogs have included rapid ingestion of food, amount of food ingested, exercise behaviors, aerophagia, conformation, age, and genetic factors. 6 Additionally, gastric dilation with and without volvulus has been identified in other species, including maned wolves (Chrysocyon brachyurus), red wolves (Canis rufus), and grey wolves (Canis lupus), a red panda (Ailurus fulgens), and a northern fur seal (Callorhinus ursinus).…”

FATAL GASTRIC DILATION IN TWO ADULT BLACK-FOOTED FERRETS (MUSTELA NIGRIPES)

Acute gastric dilation resulting in death was identified in two adult black-footed ferrets (Mustela nigripes) housed at the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute in Front Royal, Virginia. Both individuals were adult males (3 and 5 yr) and previously clinically healthy prior to the event. The etiology of gastric dilation in both cases could not be definitively determined, and necropsy revealed severe cardiovascular compromise secondary to bloat. Limited literature is available regarding a syndrome of this type in adult black-footed ferrets. Differential diagnoses considered included gastric dilatation volvulus (GDV), severe gastric distention of unknown origin, and gastric outflow obstruction. Given the severity of this syndrome and the findings in these two cases, acute gastric dilation should be considered in black-footed ferrets presenting with acute abdominal distention, respiratory distress, and cardiovascular compromise.

Computed tomographic features of urinary bladder torsion in two dogs

Urinary bladder torsion is rare in dogs. It is characterised by rotation of the organ along its longitudinal axis and is potentially life-threatening because of urinary flow obstruction with subsequent urine retention, hydroureter, hydronephrosis and azotaemia. This report describes the computed tomographic features of urinary bladder torsion in two dogs. In both cases, the hallmark indicative of torsion was the "whirl sign," originating from the twisted pelvic urethra and urinary bladder neck encircling the ureters, blood vessels and bladder ligaments in a characteristic spiral pattern. The imaging features correlated well with surgical findings, demonstrating high sensitivity of computed tomography in the preoperative diagnosis of urinary bladder torsion.
