Pelvic Flexure Impaction
The pelvic flexure is a section of the large colon where the ventral colon turns back on itself to connect to the dorsal colon. This acute turn and narrowing can cause a backup of ingesta. One of the most common causes of mild to moderate colic, a pelvic flexure impaction can be the result of decreased fluid intake, altered GI motility and poor feed quality.
