The clinical histories of the buffaloes were characterized by progressive weight loss, recurrent tympany, abdominal distention (apple and pear shapes), anorexia, and scant feces. Buffalo 1 was submitted to orogastric intubation, and due to the recurrent tympany, an exploratory laparotomy. Buffalo 2 was submitted to ultrasound examination, and a segment of the pylorus was shown to be adhered to the eventration by ultrasonography. Both animals produced positive results for the atropine test. In the necropsy evaluation, Buffalo 1 was shown to have dilation of the esophagus, rumen, and reticulum; the ruminal contents of animal 1 were olive green and foamy with bubbles within the ingesta. On the other hand, Buffalo 2 was shown to have distention of the forestomach and abomasum; the complex rumen\u2013reticulum and omasum contents were semi-liquid and had a yellowish color. In animal 2, in the eventration region, there was adherence to the pyloric region. The diagnosis of vagal indigestion was based on the history, clinical signs, and ultrasound and necropsy findings, in addition to the results of the atropine test.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/vetsci10040254","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,28]],"date-time":"2023-03-28T04:37:15Z","timestamp":1679978235000},"page":"254","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Proximal and Distal Vagal Indigestion in Buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis) in the Amazon Biome"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Jos\u00e9 Diomedes","family":"Barbosa","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de Medicina Veterin\u00e1ria, Universidade Federal do Par\u00e1, Castanhal 68740-970, PA, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marilene Farias","family":"Brito","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Epidemiologia e Sa\u00fade P\u00fablica (DESP), Instituto de Veterin\u00e1ria (IV), Universidade Federal Rural do Rio de Janeiro (UFRRJ), Serop\u00e9dica 23890-000, RJ, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1987-8190","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andr\u00e9","family":"de Medeiros Costa Lins","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de Medicina Veterin\u00e1ria, Universidade Federal do Par\u00e1, Castanhal 68740-970, PA, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7837-4246","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Camila Cordeiro","family":"Barbosa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de Medicina Veterin\u00e1ria, Universidade Federal do Par\u00e1, Castanhal 68740-970, PA, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Paulo S\u00e9rgio Chagas","family":"da Costa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de Medicina Veterin\u00e1ria, Universidade Federal do Par\u00e1, Castanhal 68740-970, PA, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marcos Dutra","family":"Duarte","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de Medicina Veterin\u00e1ria, Universidade Federal do Par\u00e1, Castanhal 68740-970, PA, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tatiane Teles Albernaz","family":"Ferreira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de Medicina Veterin\u00e1ria, Universidade Federal do Par\u00e1, Castanhal 68740-970, PA, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nat\u00e1lia","family":"da Silva e Silva Silveira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de Medicina Veterin\u00e1ria, Universidade Federal do Par\u00e1, Castanhal 68740-970, PA, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Carlos Magno Chaves","family":"Oliveira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de Medicina Veterin\u00e1ria, Universidade Federal do Par\u00e1, Castanhal 68740-970, PA, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7711-6437","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Felipe Masiero","family":"Salvarani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de Medicina Veterin\u00e1ria, Universidade Federal do Par\u00e1, Castanhal 68740-970, PA, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"378","article-title":"Estenosis Funcionales Entre Redecilla y Librillo (\u201cS\u00edndrome de Hoflund\u201d)","volume":"Volume 1","author":"Dirksen","year":"2005","journal-title":"Rosenberger: Medicina Interna y Cirug\u00eda del Bovino"},{"key":"ref_2","unstructured":"Smith, B.P.
