INTUSSUSCEPTION
This is a serious condition in which part of the intestine telescopes into itself as you can see in this video. Most commonly we see this condition in puppies with causes such as an infestation of worms, a foreign body obstructing the intestines or giardia.
It is an emergency, and can be fatal if left untreated. It is diagnosed via ultrasound and this pups ultrasound is attached in comments. You can see the two rows of intestines showing up like a target.
This puppy went home after 3 days in hospital ๐๐ถ
