Plain-English summary
A yearling Dutch Warmblood stallion was brought in for skin problems, swelling, and diarrhea. The veterinarian found that the stallion had a cecocolonic intussusception, which is when part of the intestine folds into itself, and it may have been causing issues for at least a week. Treatment details are not provided, but this condition typically requires surgical intervention to resolve.
