Today’s case is a 3-year-old male neutered Poodle with 4-day history of vomiting and anorexia. This one is a challenge! Take a look and see what you think.

My first thought was that this looked a little like a mesenteric volvulus “cinnamon bun” on the right lateral. With this being a mesenteric rent would you expect them to look similar? Interesting case! Thank you!
Yes, the end result of both conditions is strangulation of the blood supply to the small intestine resulting in necrosis. The dilation and gas filling of the small intestine is the effect that we see on the radiographs.
Thank you!
