| Abstract: | Four cows were diagnosed as having volvulus of the distal jejunoileum. Affected cattle became acutely depressed, dehydrated, and tachycardic, all developed abdominal distention, and three of four were in severe pain at the time of admission. Feces were scant or absent. The volvulus was corrected by exteriorizing the small intestine and replacing it in correct position. All four cows recovered without complications and were well 6 months or more following surgery. |
