Abstract
A Malamute was examined for acute abdominal pain and collapse. Radiogr aphs of the abdomen showed a pneumoabdomen, and a lucent mass in the r egion of the liver. Abdominocentesis yielded an inflammatory exudate w ith bacteria compatible with a Bacillus or a Clostridium sp. A quadrat e lobe torsion was found at postmortem.
