Rolling can be undertakne to try and manipulate the abomasum into the correct position. This technique involves casting the cow onto her right side and rolling her over whilst percussing and balloting the pings to track the movement of the gas filled abomasum. Reoccurence is likely and success rates with this are usually 30-50%.

*Blind toggle abomasopexy

Toggle use is useful in low value animals as it is a cheap and fast technique. The animal is cast and rolled onto her back. Two toggles are inserted through the ventral abdominal wall into the abomasal lumen. Once positionedthe two toggles are tied together. Following his blind sutureit is possible to toggle the incorrect area resulting in fatal complications. To avoid this complication a PH strip can be used to confirm the correct location following cannulation before the toggles are put in place.
