Clinical signs may very depending on the extent of intestine involved and the degree of strangulation that has occurred. Initial signs may be restricted to those indicative of acute onset abdominal pain (for example flank-watching, rolling, kicking and pawing). Occasionally the owner may report a history of exercise immediately prior to the onset of abdominal pain. This is hypothesised to be due to the lipoma wrapping around the gut in the abdomen of the rapidly moving horse. | Clinical signs may very depending on the extent of intestine involved and the degree of strangulation that has occurred.
