“…Diagnosis of any abomasum disease based on clinical symptoms alone is difficult and requires further auxiliary diagnosis such as measurement of blood biochemical parameters, rumen fluid parameters, and ultrasonography ( Braun et al , 2019 ). A high rumen chlorine concentration, hypochloremia, and hypokalemia are considered to be the best indicators of abomasum disease ( Yasaswini et al , 2021 ). Recent studies have reported that effective clinical indicators for the diagnosis of abomasal obstruction in buffalo are hypochloremia, hypokalemia, neutrophilia, eosinophilia, and lymphocytopenia, as well as elevated rumen fluid precipitation time, rumen chlorine content, and serum phosphocreatine kinase ( Yasaswini et al , 2022 ).…”

Background: Traumatic reticulitis (TR) and abomasal obstruction are common digestive diseases in beef cattle. In clinical practice, these two conditions are often detected alone and rarely occur at the same time. Surgical therapy is an effective approach to treat both of these diseases. However, there are no reports on the treatment of abomasal obstruction in cattle induced by TR. Case Description: We here report a rare case of the diagnosis and treatment of TR associated with abomasal obstruction in a beef cow during late pregnancy. The affected cattle had an iron wire that was piercing the wall of the reticulum, but did not penetrate the wall; the abomasum was blocked and appeared solid; and the fetus survived well in utero (268 days gestation). To save the lives of the cow and fetus on the same day, a cesarean section was first performed, followed by rumenotomy, the foreign body (wire) was removed, and abomasotomy was finally performed. The fetus removed by cesarean section grew well, and the beef cow recovered and has successfully become pregnant again. Conclusion: This case thus offers guidance for the timely diagnosis, effective treatment, and postoperative management of these digestive diseases in cattle to prevent progression and further complications.
