==Description==
Intestinal obstruction can be classified as acute or chronic, partial or complete, simple or strangulated. The cause of the obstruction can be intraluminal, extraluminal or intramural. Most common causes of intestinal obstruction include intussusception, neoplasia and foreign body. Young animals are more likely to develop intussusception following gastroenteritis or intestinal surgery. Other causes include intetinal volvulus and obstruction due to incarcerated intestinal loops.
