How do you diagnose abomasal displacement?
A displaced or torsed abomasum will be distended with gas and fluid enabling its detection with a stethoscope on the left or upper right side of the abdomen. Gas tinkling sounds and fluid sloshing can be heard if the area is pushed in and released a number of times with a fist, a process known as ballottement.
