Litter box liners are created for the convenience of the cat parent but they often tear from the catâs claws. Itâs also easy for urine to form pools in the folds of the plastic and that creates an odor problem.
Intussusception should be a consideration if your pet has a history of vomiting or diarrhea that has a palpable mass in the abdomen. The mass can be felt as a thickened sausage-shaped intestinal loop. Occasionally the small bowel can be felt entering the mass.
In layman's terms, obstruction colic is usually the result of a twisted gut.. Strangulation, also known as torsion, occurs when a piece of the intestine is twisted on itself. Intussusception occurs when a portion of the intestinal tract telescopes into an adjacent portion and is generally seen in foals, although it can occur rarely in older horses.
