Vet Radiol Ultrasound. 2003 Nov-Dec;44(6):646-7. doi: 10.1111/j.1740-8261.2003.tb00524.x.

Abstract

Thoracic radiography of a 3-month-old, female Chinese Shar-pei revealed an esophageal hiatal hernia with stomach, liver, and small intestine displaced into the thorax. Three days after the surgical correction, the dog developed ileal intussusception and was reoperated. Recovery was uncomplicated and the dog was asymptomatic 16 months after surgery.
