Intestinal strictures were diagnosed in two captive cheetahs (Acinonyx jubatus jubatus). The cheetahs presented with lethargy, anorexia, diarrhea, and weight loss. The first cheetah had a stricture of the ileocecocolic junction diagnosed at necropsy. The second had an ileocecocolic stricture causing obstruction that was diagnosed at surgery. After resection and anastomosis, the cheetah recovered well. The etiology of the strictures remains undetermined. Intestinal stricture, particularly of the ileocecocolic junction, should be considered as a differential diagnosis for cheetahs with nonspecific gastrointestinal signs.
在两只圈养猎豹（猎豹指名亚种）中诊断出肠道狭窄。这两只猎豹表现出嗜睡、厌食、腹泻和体重减轻的症状。第一只猎豹在尸检时被诊断出回盲结肠交界处狭窄。第二只猎豹患有导致梗阻的回盲结肠狭窄，在手术时被诊断出来。切除并吻合后，这只猎豹恢复良好。狭窄的病因仍未确定。肠道狭窄，尤其是回盲结肠交界处的狭窄，应被视为具有非特异性胃肠道症状的猎豹的鉴别诊断之一。
