Plain-English summary
A 5-year-old Basset Hound was brought to the vet because he was vomiting, seemed depressed, was dehydrated, and showed signs of stomach pain. X-rays showed a dense mass in his stomach, and during surgery, the vet found that most of the stomach was black and parts of the intestine and pancreas had twisted into it. Unfortunately, the dog's condition was severe, and he was euthanized.

At exploratory laparotomy, 75% of the stomach was black, and the pylorus, proximal portion of the duodenum, and pancreas were found inverted into the stomach. The dog was euthanatized.
