Abstract
While the causative factors of acute GI disease are often unknown and many conditions are self-limiting with simple supportive care, that is not always the case, and consideration should be given to potential causes that require active intervention for successful resolution. This chapter provides overviews of self-limiting enteritis, infectious enteritis and conditions requiring surgical intervention.

Ultrasonograms of the abdomen of a dog with a surgically confirmed intestinal intussusception. (a) The longitudinal view shows a double intestinal wall, typical of an intestinal loop containing another intestinal loop. (b) On the transverse view, the hyperechoic mesenteric fat containing hypoechoic vessels is visible.
