Abstract: A three-month-old male German Shepherd puppy was presented with a medical history of a protruding mass through the anus, along with symptoms such as loss of appetite, vomiting, and watery diarrhea persisting for the past two days. To rule out possibility of rectal prolapse blunt end of thermometer was passed between rectal wall and prolapsed mass which progressed upto the cranial of pubis suggesting prolapsed mass of intestine. The ultrasound examination showed the presence of multiple concentric rings with varying echogenicity, resembling a bull's eye pattern, indicating intestinal intussusception. Subsequently, a ventral midline celiotomy was conducted under general anesthesia, revealing intussusception in the ileocolic region. Due to poor viability of the telescoped intestine in the ileocolic region, resection and oblique end-to-end anastomosis were performed. The animal experienced an uneventful recovery.
