Abstract
Gastric dilation and volvulus syndrome (GDV) is characterized by gastric distension trapping lngesta, fluids and gas, subsequent twisting of distended stomach along its longitudinal axis at esophageal cardia and pylorus (Willard, 1995). Several complications of GDV like spleenic necrosis, cardiac arrhythmias, reperfusion injury etc, are common (De Nova, 1996). The purpose of this communication is to discuss the surgical management and an unusual complication of intussusception after surgical correction of GDV in a Great Dane dog.
