Adhesions of small intestine and urinary bladder to fracture callus within the pelvic canal in two dogs

Summary

In this case report, we report on two cases of pelvic fractures with uncommon complications that resulted from adhesions of the small intestine to the fracture callus in dogs. The most likely cause of the clinical signs in the first case was adhesions between a segment of the jejunum and a coccygeal callus which resulted in luminal narrowing. This was further complicated by small obstructing trichobezoars. In case 2, which was admitted with incontinence, adhesions were found between fractured pubic bone callus and both the urinary bladder and a segment of the jejunum.
