Abstract
Experi:nental surgicnl resections from t he small intestine were done on forty-two dogs divided into seven groups, e ech conteining six nnimnls. Dogs of the first group, were subjected
to resection of 20 percent from their smoll intestine. The precentoge of resection Was increased progressively ten per- CMt till we reached about 80 percent resection in dogs of
the seventh group. Blood picture, biochemicDl changes ond the body weight were c~ried out on the normnl blood ~nd fol1cwing the reseetion up
to six months. As much as sixty percent of the total small intestine in
nogs moy be r en oved without fatol results. Animals usuolly
return gr adunl1y to a condition of particularly normal weight
and metabolism when maintained on a f’o.vourable diet and good
condi tions.
Resections of more than sixty percent have a eeverely lim- ited prognosis and most of these QA~l~ are .oot. liable to ret-
urn to a considerably no.rme L life.
The main problem associated with resections of the amall
~te8tine was the presence of severe diarrhoea and loss of
oody weight, from which they gradually recover untill they retu.rn to nearly the normal condition. They re::nain t hoowever t IItre~Jely sensitive to unfavourable ocndd t Lo na ot diet and
