| + | There are two manifestations of [[The Abomasum - Anatomy & Physiology|abomasal]] displacemet. In both the [[The Abomasum - Anatomy & Physiology|abomasum]] becomes trapped between [[The Rumen - Anatomy & Physiology|rumen]] and abdominal wall. The more comon presentation is the left displacement (LDA) which is Ventral and to the left of [[The Rumen - Anatomy & Physiology|rumen]]. |
− | *# '''Ventral and to the left of [[The Rumen - Anatomy & Physiology|rumen]] (LDA)''' - the more common presentation.
| + | [[The Abomasum - Anatomy & Physiology|Abomasal]] atony and increased gas production leads to displacement. This can be induced by the combination of a high concentrate diet,ketosis, hypocalcaemia and increased [[Volatile Fatty Acids - Anatomy & Physioogy|volatile fatty acids]] from the [[The Rumen - Anatomy & Physiology|rumen]]. A displacement to the right an RDA is less common. |
| + | Constriction of blood vessels and trauma to the vagus nerve results in [[The Abomasum - Anatomy & Physiology|abomasal]] distenstion with blood-stained fluid and gas, congested mucosa and infarction. |
| + | Additionally the [[The Abomasum - Anatomy & Physiology|abomasum]] may rupture, causing peritonitis, shock and death. |
