Twisted Intestine / stomach fused to liver
Beau is a bull terrier pup 10 months old. Two months ago he was vomiting during play. He had a gastrointestinal block. The block may have been there for up to two months unnoticed. Beau had an operation to remove object. The very next day the vet had to perform another emergency operation for peritonitis. 3 weeks after surgery all seemed fine, then began vomiting again. The vet operated, found twisted intestine. Once released the color normalised. They noticed scar tissue from previous operation which they feel is normal, but also see that his stomach has fused to his liver.
I am really worried for Beau, what can be done? Can twisted intestines reoccur? Is the fusing of his stomach and liver fatal?
