Auscultation with simultaneous percussion over the left 9th to 12th rib intercostal spaces reveals a high-pitched, metallic resonant 'ping' sound. What is the definitive diagnosis and primary pathophysiology?

Primary ruminal lactic acidosis with massive left-sided gas cap accumulation Left-Displaced Abomasum (LDA / Linksseitige Labmagenverlagerung) caused by abomasal atony, gas accumulation, and displacement dorsally and to the left between the rumen and the left abdominal wall Cecal dilatation and torsion displaced into the left hypochondriac region Traumatic reticuloperitonitis with localized gas-forming abscess formation in the omental bursa

Question 3

An 8-year-old Warmblood gelding presents with acute, severe colic signs (pawing, sweating, violent rolling) of 3 hours' duration.

Heart rate is 72 bpm, mucous membranes are congested, and blood lactate is 4.8 mmol/L. What is the mandatory management recommendation?

Administer repeat doses of flunixin meglumine and mineral oil via nasogastric tube and re-evaluate in 12 hours Initiate aggressive oral rehydration therapy with 40 liters of isotonic electrolytes via stomach tube Perform emergency surgical exploratory celiotomy (laparotomy) for suspected small intestinal strangulating obstruction (e.g., epiploic foramen entrapment or strangulating lipoma) Administer intramuscular xylazine and perform standing left flank laparoscopy to evacuate the cecum
