GIT Match (2)

Extension from oral & esophageal infections = Infection spread leading to reticulum penetration Grain overload = Increased carbohydrate leading to ruminal lactic acidosis Sudden change to high CHO diet = Rapid dietary transition causing bacterial overgrowth Overgrowth of gram + bacteria = Excessive bacteria altering ruminal pH

Bacterial rumenitis = Inflammation caused by Fusobacterium necrophorum Liver abscesses = Potential rupture into vena cava resulting in embolism Mycotic rumenitis = Infarcts leading to systemic issues Ulcers on the rumen pillars = Damage resulting from grain overload complications

Acute gastric dilation = Functional obstruction of cardia and pylorus Volvulus = Rotation on its mesenteric axis causing gas accumulation Abomasal displacement = Common GI disorder requiring surgical intervention Right abomasal displacement = Occurs in cows and calves, less common than left

<p>Left abomasal displacement = Common in older high-producing dairy cows Right abomasal displacement = 15% occurrence rate in cows and calves Postcalving period = Associated with increased risk of left displacement Seldom fatal = Characteristic of left abomasal displacement surgeries</p> Signup and view all the answers
