The patient had a history of previous resection and anastomosis of a small intestinal diverticulum \u223c2 yr prior to evaluation for her anemia. Capsule endoscopy revealed a focal abnormality in the distal jejunum at the site of a previous bowel resection and anastomosis. This lesion was suspected to be the cause of ongoing gastrointestinal bleeding and anemia. Exploratory laparotomy combined with endoscopy was performed to further investigate and localize the jejunal lesion. The lesion was resected, and a primary end-to-end jejunal anastomosis was performed. Histopathology of the specimen revealed jejunal suture granulomas with focal ulceration. The patient recovered well from surgery with significant improvement of the anemia and resolution of clinical signs at recheck examinations 1 and 2 wk postoperatively. Complete resolution of the anemia was noted at a 6 wk follow-up. The case report demonstrates how, in cases of unknown causes of anemia, capsule endoscopy is a noninvasive method of identifying the presence of gastrointestinal bleeding as a result of lesions that might otherwise not be detectable with abdominal ultrasound or conventional endoscopy. The report also documents a long-term complication to a resection and anastomosis surgery.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.5326\/jaaha-ms-6712","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,11,12]],"date-time":"2019-11-12T19:11:26Z","timestamp":1573585886000},"page":"30-33","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Jejunal Lesion Identified at a Previous Anastomosis Site in a Dog Using Capsule Endoscopy"],"prefix":"10.5326","volume":"56","author":[{"given":"Millie","family":"Grimes","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"From VCA Animal Specialty & Emergency Center, Los Angeles, California (M.G., T.C.); and Infiniti Medical, LLC, Redwood City, California (J.S.P.)."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Todd","family":"Cohen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From VCA Animal Specialty & Emergency Center, Los Angeles, California (M.G., T.C.); and Infiniti Medical, LLC, Redwood City, California (J.S.P.)."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jill S.","family":"Pomrantz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From VCA Animal Specialty & Emergency Center, Los Angeles, California (M.G., T.C.); and Infiniti Medical, LLC, Redwood City, California (J.S.P.)."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"3280","reference":[{"key":"bib1","series-title":"Prz Gastroenterol","first-page":"245","article-title":"Clinical utility of capsule endoscopy in small intestinal diseases, experience of single referral center with 125 cases","volume":"4","author":"Kav\n              T","year":"2009","unstructured":"Kav\n              T\n            , ShorbagiAI, SivriB, et al.\n          Clinical utility of capsule endoscopy in small intestinal diseases, experience of single referral center with 125 cases.
