Plain-English summary
A 3-month-old female Chinese Shar-pei was brought in for breathing problems, and X-rays showed that her stomach, liver, and small intestine had moved into her chest due to an esophageal hiatal hernia. After surgery to fix the hernia, she developed another issue called ileal intussusception, which required a second surgery. Fortunately, she recovered well and was doing fine 16 months later, showing no symptoms.

Abstract
Thoracic radiography of a 3-month-old, female Chinese Shar-pei revealed an esophageal hiatal hernia with stomach, liver, and small intestine displaced into the thorax. Three days after the surgical correction, the dog developed ileal intussusception and was reoperated. Recovery was uncomplicated and the dog was asymptomatic 16 months after surgery.
