− | ===Ingesta=== | |
− | | |
− | *Commonly found in horses and cattle, less so in pigs, small ruminants, rarely in dogs and cats
| |
− | *Site of GI perforation or rupture usually easy to find e.g. [[Stomach Rupture|gastric rupture]] in horse and [[Gastric Ulceration - Cattle|perforating abomasal ulcer]] in cattle, before [[Peritonitis - Pathology|peritonitis]] sets in
| |
− | | |

− | ===Rectal perforation=== | |
− | | |
− | *Usually due to accidental damage during rectal examination of horses
| |
− | *Most tears 25 - 30cm from the [[Anus - Anatomy & Physiology|anus]] on the dorsal aspect
| |
− | *When muscularis perforated - potential for contamination of the abdomen

| |
