An adult female domestic shorthair cat was evaluated for chronic upper respiratory disease and vomiting. A diagnosis of idiopathic megaesophagus with intermittent gastroesophageal intussusception (GEI) was made based on radiographic and endoscopic examinations. The GEI was manually reduced by use of a stomach tube during the endoscopic procedure. An incisional gastropexy was performed to prevent recurrence. Gastroesophageal intussusception is a rare condition in cats. In dogs it is usually associated with rapid progression of clinical signs, culminating in death. In this cat, the condition was associated with chronic signs, probably due to the intermittent nature of the GEI.

Gastroesophageal intussusception is a rare condition in dogs. We report a gastroesophageal intussusception in an adult dog which had been subjected to unilateral pneumonectomy as a pup. One year after the surgery, computerized tomography scans indicated megaesophagus in the caudal third of the thorax. However, clinically the dog had experienced only a few episodes of vomiting of bile-stained fluid, which was not associated with eating. At 15 months after surgery, the dog was found dead without prior clinical signs of disease. At that time, gastroesophageal intussusception was identified. The cause of the intussusception is not known, although megaesophagus may be a predisposing factor.

Gastroesophageal intussusception is a rare but life-threatening condition that requires immediate diagnosis and urgent surgical intervention. We describe the clinical, radiographic, ultrasonographic, and gross pathologic examinations of a 50-day-old German Shepherd dog with gastroesophageal intussusception associated with esophageal dilatation. The dog was brought to the clinic 10 days after weaning with a history of regurgitation, persistent vomiting, hematemesis, and dyspnea. On admission, the dog was lethargic with signs of shock and died just before surgery. Gastroesophageal intussusception should be considered in the differential diagnosis in dogs with progressive vomiting or regurgitation especially at the weaning time.
