Description

<p>Sodium polyacrylate (PANa) solution dissolved with tap water was orally administered to cows via a Polybottle or a nasal catheter to treat gastrointestinal obstruction associated with a significant decrease in the amount of fecal matter, probably due to omasal impaction or abomasal impaction, in combination with a traditional treatment method, such as electrolyte abnormality correction and/or the use of peristaltic activity inducing agents. The rate of cure was previously 16.4%, but significantly increased to 84.2% using this method. All cured cases were cows orally administered with a PANa solution using a Polybottle. Although the blood test prior to treatment had revealed a high level of Ht and BUN and a low level of K and Cl, these values returned to normal when defecation resumed following the administration of the PANa solution. These findings suggest that oral administration of the PANa solution using a Polybottle may be a new treatment method for refractory gastrointestinal obstruction suspected of omasal impaction or abomasal impaction.</p>
