Abstract

Displaced abomasum is a common pathology in high milk production cows. Due to few literature reports in transient displaced abomasum, this report describes the surgery correction of the left displaced abomasum with recurrent course in a lactating Jersey cow. The animal was monitored for three days, where it was observed that at certain moments of the day the organ displacement occurred. In view of the case, the abomasopexy procedure by the left flank was chosen, since it is the treatment of choice. After the surgical approach, the animal returned to normal feeding. The sooner the diagnosis is made, the better the patient’s prognosis.
