7 year old Cocker Spaniel

Findings

The abdomen is distended, and there is poor peritoneal detail. In the craniodorsal portion of the abdomen, there is gas lucency which appears to outline the liver lobes and proximal extremity of the spleen. The liver is enlarged. The urinary tract appears normal. The small intestine appears corrugated in some areas. There are several gas bubbles near the small intestinal loops that are not clearly contained within bowel.

A horizontal beam radiograph was obtained with the dog in right lateral recumbency. A small bubble of free gas is present at the highest point of the abdomen.
