A 1-year-old female spayed Golden Retriever presented with a 2-day history of vomiting and a chronic 4-month history of intermittent diarrhoea. Blood work revealed hepatocellular hepatopathy with mildly elevated baseline cortisol. Abdominal radiographs revealed mineral opacities in the right caudal abdomen, suspicious for foreign material, but with no evidence of small intestinal obstruction. Owners elected to pursue exploratory laparotomy. A firm, tan, irregular structure was observed in the right caudal abdomen with a small adhesion to an adjacent loop of jejunum. The structure placed caudal tension on a loop of jejunum, causing a hair-pin turn prior to the beginning of the ileum. The structure was removed en bloc and identified as a focal canine intestinal diverticulum with osseous metaplasia via histopathology.
一只1岁已绝育的雌性金毛猎犬出现了2天的呕吐病史以及4个月的间歇性慢性腹泻病史。血液检查显示肝细胞性肝病，基线皮质醇轻度升高。腹部X光片显示右后腹部有矿物质混浊，怀疑有异物，但无小肠梗阻的迹象。主人选择进行剖腹探查术。在右后腹部观察到一个坚实、棕褐色、不规则的结构，与相邻的空肠袢有小的粘连。该结构对一段空肠施加了尾部张力，在回肠起始处之前形成了一个发夹样转弯。该结构被整块切除，经组织病理学鉴定为伴有骨化生的局灶性犬肠憩室。
