Aim:In this study, the results of clinical, ultrasonographic, and laparotomy examinations of a five-year-old dairy cow with right abomasal displacement and traumatic reticuloperitonitis are presented. Materials and Methods: A five-year-old Holstein cow who had recently given birth was brought to the veterinary teaching hospital with a history of depression, anorexia, constipation, arched backs, and bloat. Based on the history and the results of the clinical and ultrasonographic examination, a tentative diagnosis of TRP and RDA was made, and the cow was submitted for surgery. Results: An ultrasonographic examination revealed hyperechogenic fibrin deposits and anechogenic fluid pockets between the reticulum and the anterior dorsal blind sac of the rumen. It was discovered that the displaced abomasum is hypoechogenic, has fluid ingesta ventrally, and has a gas cap more dorsally. The reticulum's submerged and free foreign bodies were removed, and an abomasopexy procedure was performed. She became appetent the following day after the surgery and made steady improvements over the following days. Conclusion: It was concluded that ultrasonography along with a clinical examination, is a useful adjunct tool for assessing the concurrent observed abomasal displacement and traumatic reticuloperitonitis.
