Outline: Displaced Abomasum History and Signalment Pathophysiology Diagnosis
Clinical signs, clin path, R/O’s Treatment
Non-surgical Surgical (4 approaches) Ancillary care (Fluids, Abx, …)
Risk Factors for LDA
![Page 3: Abomasum](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081501/56812e2d550346895d93910b/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Displaced Abomasums
DA’s, LDA’s, RDA’s, RTA’s
Adult lactating dairy
Production problem
Herd problem [related to nutrition]
Majority of DA’s have concurrent diseases
![Page 4: Abomasum](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081501/56812e2d550346895d93910b/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
History and Signalment of DA Age: older lactating dairy cattle Timing: 80% occur during first month
after parturition Nutrition:
Dry cow rations: +DCAD / inadeq efv fiber Fresh cow: excess NSC’s / inadeq efv fiber
Concurrent disease:
40% of DA’s have retained placenta, mastitis, or metritis
![Page 5: Abomasum](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081501/56812e2d550346895d93910b/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Normal location of abomasum
![Page 6: Abomasum](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081501/56812e2d550346895d93910b/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

![Page 7: Abomasum](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081501/56812e2d550346895d93910b/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Why does the abomasum displace?(1) Abomasal atony
(2) Increased abomasal gas production
(1) + (2) => abomasum moves (LDA,RDA)
Normal position of abomasum Left displacement
![Page 8: Abomasum](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081501/56812e2d550346895d93910b/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Displacing Abomasum In Action
![Page 9: Abomasum](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081501/56812e2d550346895d93910b/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
LDA
![Page 10: Abomasum](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081501/56812e2d550346895d93910b/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Why does abomasal atony occur?
Hypocalcaemia due to +DCAD, [Ca]blood, mastitis, - E balance
7 times more likely to develop DA’s
Inadequate effective fiber VFA’s reach abomasum => abomasal
hypomotility => HCl refluxes back into rumen => systemic metabolic alkalosis
Endotoxemia Released during Gm – sepsis (mastitis/metritis)
![Page 11: Abomasum](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081501/56812e2d550346895d93910b/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Why increased gas productn?
NSC : effective fiber ratio
Diet Type Gas volume
(methane,O2,N2)
Hay 800 ml/hr
Concentrate 3 lb 1100 ml/hr
Concentrate 15 lb 2200 ml/hr

Clinical Signs (continued)
LDA: Ping & Splash Ascult and percuss Ping high pitched Ballottment for
splash of fluid All pings are not
created equal – rumen ping
Note: ~15% of LDA’s DO NOT PING or ping sporatically
![Page 16: Abomasum](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081501/56812e2d550346895d93910b/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Differential Diagnosis
LDA R/O’s 1° ketosis (non-pinging LDA) Rumen ping
RDA R/O’s 1° ketosis (non-pinging RDA) Other Right-sided pings:
Uterus, cecum, peritoneum, colon, rectum “off feed” ping
![Page 17: Abomasum](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081501/56812e2d550346895d93910b/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Therapeutic Goals
Return Abomasum to proper position Create a permanent attachment Correct electrolyte, acid-base, &
hydration deficits Treat other concurrent diseases
![Page 20: Abomasum](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081501/56812e2d550346895d93910b/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Therapeutic Choices
Upper 25% of herd: “cut ‘em” Middle 50%: “tack ‘em” Lower 25%: “cull ‘em”
![Page 21: Abomasum](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081501/56812e2d550346895d93910b/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
How to Fix?
![Page 22: Abomasum](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081501/56812e2d550346895d93910b/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Non-Surgical Technique: Rolling
Cast cow with ropes into right lateral recumbency
Roll onto back & extend the rear legs Roll in a 90-degree arc for 3 minutes, ending
in left lateral recumbency Bring the cow to sternal position & allow to
stand Ascult the left thorax to ensure LDA is
relieved
![Page 23: Abomasum](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081501/56812e2d550346895d93910b/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Rolling Technique
Advantages Quick & easy technique No invasive surgery
DISADVANTAGES >50% redisplace If RDA or RTA are present, can exacerbate
problems
![Page 24: Abomasum](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081501/56812e2d550346895d93910b/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Surgical Techniques- Roll & Toggle
+/- Tranquilization or Sedation
Cast cow onto right side & roll onto back
Clip & scrub operational site: Area of loudest
“ping” 4-7 inches behind
Xiphoid
![Page 25: Abomasum](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081501/56812e2d550346895d93910b/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Roll &Toggle
Assistant places pressure on lower abdominal quadrant
Trocharize the abdomen 4-7 inches behind xiphoid & 3 inches right of midline
Remove handle & push rod from trochar
![Page 26: Abomasum](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081501/56812e2d550346895d93910b/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Roll & Toggle Place toggle suture
and push through cannula, then remove trochar
Trocharize 2nd site 2-3 inches proximally
Tie two toggle suture ends together, leaving space between skin & the knots
![Page 27: Abomasum](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081501/56812e2d550346895d93910b/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Roll & Toggle
Advantages: Simple, quick, inexpensive Minimally invasive High success rate (60-80%)
Disadvantages: Blind technique- cannot see abomasum Dorsal recumbent position
![Page 28: Abomasum](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081501/56812e2d550346895d93910b/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Surgical Techniques:Right Flank Omentopexy Paravertebral/Invert-
ed L/ Line Block 20 cm vertical
incision in right paralumbar fossa
Left arm moves over top of rumen to left side of abdomen, locates abomasum
![Page 29: Abomasum](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081501/56812e2d550346895d93910b/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Right Flank Omentopexy
Feel abomasum for adhesions
Deflate gas Bring arm under
rumen, grab top of abomasum & scoop back to ventral position
![Page 30: Abomasum](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081501/56812e2d550346895d93910b/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Right Flank Omentopexy
Pull out omentum through incision until pylorus can be seen
Mattress sutures through peritoneum, omentum, & muscle
Continuous sutures on inner layers of muscle incorporating omentum
![Page 31: Abomasum](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081501/56812e2d550346895d93910b/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Right Flank Omentopexy
Advantages: High success rate in experienced surgeons Standing procedure Can perform exploratory
Disadvantages: Omentum can tear & redisplacement Cannot see abomasum to evaluate Need long arms to reach across abdomen!
![Page 32: Abomasum](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081501/56812e2d550346895d93910b/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Anesthetize Left Flank 20 cm incision of left
paralumbar fossa Locate abomasum Place sutures in
greater curvature– simple continuous or interlocking & tab
Deflate abomasum
Surgical Techniques: Left Flank Abomasopexy
![Page 33: Abomasum](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081501/56812e2d550346895d93910b/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Left Flank Abomasopexy
Attach a cutting needle to sutures & bring to ventral surface of abdominal wall
Stab needle through abdominal wall & reposition abomasum by traction on suture
Anchor sutures in skin
![Page 34: Abomasum](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081501/56812e2d550346895d93910b/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Left Flank Abomasopexy
Advantages Direct fixation of abomasum to body wall Standing surgery Can see abomasum
Disadvantages Not as secure of anchorage as ventral
paramedian approach
![Page 35: Abomasum](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081501/56812e2d550346895d93910b/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Surgical Techniques: Ventral Paramedian Abomasopexy
Sedated & blocked cow in dorsal recumbancy
Incision between midline & milk vein 8 cm behind Xiphoid
![Page 36: Abomasum](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081501/56812e2d550346895d93910b/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Ventral Paramedian Abomasopexy
Bring abomasum back to normal position directly below incision
Trochar to remove gas Suture lateral aspect of
greater curvature to peritoneum & internal rectus sheath
Close
![Page 37: Abomasum](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081501/56812e2d550346895d93910b/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Ventral Paramedian Abomasopexy
Advantages Very secure fixation with good adhesion Can visualize abomasum Casting usually repositions abomasum
Disadvantages Stressful to cast the cow, danger of
regurgitation in dorsal recumbency Rest of abdomen cannot be explored
![Page 38: Abomasum](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081501/56812e2d550346895d93910b/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Replacement Fluids
Isotonic Saline, Lactated Ringer’s IV to replace deficit
K, Ca salts as needed to correct electrolyte imbalances
Free-choice oral fluids with NaCl, KCl
![Page 39: Abomasum](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081501/56812e2d550346895d93910b/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Antibiotics???
The Three T’s: TimeTime- how long was the procedure? TrashTrash- how clean was the surgical site? TraumaTrauma- are tissues damaged?
Also evaluate for other concurrent problems, cost, withdrawal times, route, and ability of agent to reach the tissue

Risk Factors for LDA
High-production Dairy Cows High concentrate,
low roughage diet Large body size Limited exercise
Post-partum Abomasal Atony
