Toggles are 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 positioned the two toggles are tied together. Following this blind suture it is possible to toggle the incorrect area (e.g. rumen, reticulum) 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.
