diaphragmatic hernia

in cattle, cases resulting from traumatic reticulitis show chronic ruminal tympany, distention, emaciation, anterior displacement of the heart with systolic murmur. Congenital cases in calves and those in cows due to trauma show dyspnea, displacement of the heart, and gut sounds audible in the chest. Horse cases are usually traumatic in origin and result in an acute onset of severe colic with no good distinguishing signs. In dogs and cats, uncommonly congenital but a common sequela to trauma with signs of dyspnea and pleural effusion. See also peritoneopericardial hernia.
