Abstract

There are four syndromes associated with abomasal ulcers (1). The first type is that of slight ulceration or erosion with only mild or no clinical signs. The second syndrome is that of marked hemorrhage or anemia. The third syndrome is that of abomasal perforation with acute circumscribed peritonitis. The causative factors related to cecal torsion are very similar to those of abomasal displacement.
