In this episode, host Alyssa Watson, DVM, is joined by Stan Veytsman, DVM, to talk about his recent Clinician’s Brief article, “Colonic Volvulus & Entrapment in a Labrador Retriever.” Dr. Veytsman explains the common presenting signs that this very uncommon problem shares with other acute abdominal conditions. He also reviews the difference between torsion and volvulus. Later, he discusses pneumocolograms, tissue vitality after derotation, and the several ways to perform a colopexy. Keep this emergency on your radar!
