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.
Background Intussusception is the telescoping or prolapse of one portion of the bowel into an immediately adjacent segment. Contrast enema can reduce the intussusception in approximately 75% of cases. Pathophysiology Intussusception most commonly occurs at the terminal ileum (ie, ileocolic).
