Medical Conditions, Disorders and Illnesses

WHAT IS MEGACOLON ?

Megacolon is a condition more commonly seen in cats than dogs. Megacolon occurs when an animal is unable to defecate and the fecal contents remain obstructed within the large intestine (colon) and have to be removed surgically. There is progressive retention of fecal matter and loss of ability of the colon(Large Intestine) to propel the feces to the exterior. This results in a complete fecal impaction of the Large Intestine. This normally occurs as a result of loss of elasticity and smooth muscle tone of the Colon.

The surgical process is called Anastomosis. Megacolon could be a result of a deformity occurring in the anatomy of the colon – large intestine as a result of a severe pelvic fracture which could have changed the anatomy of the large intestine or could be a genetic malfunction or could also be of idiopathic origin.
