Clostridium
H. pylori/E coli/salmonella which results in gastritis
Colon Cancer/Tumor
IBD (colitis/Crohn's disease)
A hernia could do it if it was prolonged over a period of time (necrosis)
Or a tumor that pushes into a hernia.
I've heard of another condition that involved fungi, but I can't remember what it was called.
Excessively using laxatives.
If a person drank some kind of poison or an extremely acidic material ,and the person lived, the intestines would show up black and rigid.
An extreme allergic reaction that only reacts in the intestines.(very rare)
Very doubtfully extreme constipation that resulted in a large rip or tear(rupture) in the colon.
An abscess or infection from a rip or hemorrhoid.
Rotting food might be able to if the individual's metabolism was extremely slow/stunted and they suffered from a liver/gallbladder disorder where they didn't produce sufficient bile.
Herpes might be able to; however, I've only heard of it happening in animals.
Lastly and most unlikely over exposure to radioactive materials.
There are more, but these are just a handful.
There are more bacteria that can cause gastritis. In addition, there are worms that can cause similar conditions.
I can't think of what can cause a black spleen.
Threadworms, or pinworms, are typically found in the intestines and do not directly cause harm to the spleen. However, severe infestations can lead to complications such as inflammation of the intestines or rectal area, which could potentially affect nearby organs like the spleen. It is important to consult a healthcare provider for proper diagnosis and treatment if you suspect an infection.
It is unlikely for the Heimlich maneuver to cause the spleen to rupture. The Heimlich maneuver is a safe and effective technique to dislodge foreign objects from a choking person's airway. However, if excessive force is applied, it could potentially cause injury to the spleen, but this is rare.
A 6mm hypodensity in the right kidney and spleen refers to an area that appears less dense on imaging. This could be due to various reasons such as cysts, fluid collections, or benign lesions. Further evaluation with additional imaging or tests may be needed to determine the exact cause.
Its location. The spleen's vulnerable location means it's at risk of injury. A severe blow to the stomach area can crush the spleen, tearing its covering and the tissue inside. Probably also due to the fact that it is the most vascular organ of the body (350 L of blood passes through it per day). For this reason, splenic injury poses a potentially life-threatening situation.
it causes extreme pain. My mother has just experienced this. She has a clotting problem and had to go on blood thinners. The doctors opted to let it resolve itself. The portion of the spleen involved will just die off. They say that this is just fine. She is at home with pain meds and a new regieme of blood thinners that have to be checked (blood) every few day.

splenomegaly (enlarged spleen) could cause the spleen to rupture. The principal of my elementary school had a pet Saint Bernard that died from a ruptured spleen.
They could be a cause, but you should get checked. Black feces could mean internal bleeding
your left side.. is where your intestines are.... if it is upper left side pain it could be your pancreas or spleen.... but your left side can really hurt for the simpleist reasons, such as constipation It could be food posioning but I beleve you should see a doctor as soon as possible

Can anyone tell me what could cause an enlarged spleen and liver in a Junior female dog aged 6months?
no
Yes. It can seriously harm a goldfishes intestines if eaten and can cause fatal diseases to their brain or stomach if its fumes were inhaled. Green Algae is OK for fishes to be around but if excessive algae grows in tank then it could, too, be fatal.

There could be something wrong with your spleen. You could have Pancreatitis. You could have IBS. You may have appendicitis, or something is wrong with you digestive tract. Most of these options would require a fast trip to the ER
That would take some pretty violent throwing up, one symptom of mono is an enlarged spleen and at that time the spleen could rupture or tear just from the swelling caused by infection. Normally a ruptured spleen is caused by blunt force trauma, the type you would be susceptible to from a blow, contact sports or a car accident. Pain in the upper left abdomen after injury, with local tenderness to touch and mental confusion should be treated as an emergency.
