==Treatment==
==Treatment==
Treatment is by surgical reduction of the intussusception at laparotomy under general anaesthesia. The caecum must be closely inspected, a partial or total tylephectomy may need to be performed if the tissue is severly damaged or if the intussusception cannot be reduced.
IV fliud therapy and flunixin meglumate should be administered.
