Displaced abomasum
Abstract
"The abomasum is the fourth or 'true' stomach in the cow. It normally lies low down in the right front quadrant of the abdomen, just inside the seventh through 11th ribs (Fig. 1). Adjacent to the abomasum, on the left side of the abdomen, is the large first stomach or rumen (Fig. 2). The abomasum occasionally may be displaced to the left of the rumen and upwards when its muscular wall loses tone and the stomach becomes filled with gas. This condition is left abomasal displacement."--First page.
