Nasogastric intubation does not preclude the possibility of gastric rupture, and the amount of reflux obtained before rupture is highly variable(146)
  −
Usually occurs along the greater curvature.  In horse with rupture due to gastric dilation, the seromuscualris likely wekaens and tears before the mucosa(146,148).  In rupture secondary to gastric ulceration, there is usally full-thicknees tearing of equal size in all layers.
