To describe signalment, clinical findings, imaging and treatment of intestinal sand impaction in the dog.
Medical records of dogs with radiographic evidence of small intestinal sand impaction were reviewed.
Sand impaction resulting in small intestinal obstruction was diagnosed in eight dogs. All dogs presented with signs of vomiting. Other clinical signs included anorexia, lethargy and abdominal pain. Radiographs confirmed the presence of radio-opaque material consistent with sand causing distension of the terminal small intestine in all dogs. Four dogs were treated surgically for their impaction and four dogs were managed medically. Seven of the eight dogs survived.
Both medical and surgical management of intestinal sand impaction in the dog can be effective and both afford a good prognosis for recovery.
描述犬小肠沙粒阻塞的特征、临床症状、影像学表现及治疗方法。
回顾有小肠沙粒阻塞影像学证据的犬的病历。
八只犬被诊断为沙粒阻塞导致小肠梗阻。所有犬均出现呕吐症状。其他临床症状包括厌食、嗜睡和腹痛。X光片证实所有犬均存在与沙子相符的不透射线物质，导致末端小肠扩张。四只犬因阻塞接受了手术治疗，四只犬接受了保守治疗。八只犬中有七只存活。
犬小肠沙粒阻塞的保守治疗和手术治疗均有效，且恢复预后良好。
