Plain-English summary
A 14-month-old male Labrador retriever was brought to the vet because he was vomiting and regurgitating. The vet diagnosed him with gastroesophageal intussusception, a serious condition where part of the stomach folds into itself, and he also had aspiration pneumonia, which is a lung infection caused by inhaling food or liquid. After undergoing surgery and receiving medical treatment, the dog recovered well, which is not always the case with this condition. His successful outcome is considered quite rare.

Abstract
A 14-month-old, intact male Labrador retriever was referred for evaluation of vomiting and regurgitation. A diagnosis of gastroesophageal intussusception with aspiration pneumonia was made. The patient responded favorably to aggressive surgical and medical management. The guarded to poor prognosis for gastroesophageal intussusception makes the successful outcome of this case unique.
