A four-year-old, male cocker spaniel was presented for vomiting and anorexia of two days' duration. An elongated abdominal mass was palpated, and abdominal pain was noted. On exploratory laparotomy, a jejunal segment was found to be infarcted transmurally. Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of mesenteric vein thrombosis. The dog recovered uneventfully following resection of the affected bowel.
