Not a lot is known about this condition as it onsets fairly quickly and unfortunately has almost a 100% mortality rate. I had a healthy 5 year old Border Collie that suddenly died of this condition out of the blue. This condition is most common in puppies under a year old and is increasing in frequency in German Sheppards.
The underlying cause for mesenteric torsion is any condition that that irritates the bowel, such as infections diseases of the gut (parvo, coronovirus, foreign body obstructions, inflammatory bowel disease, intestinal parasites, etc.) It is believed that allowing too much activity following a big meal can be a predisposing factor. In my own experience, this has seemed to play a role in some cases of mesenteric torsion.
As previously noted, diagnosis can be difficult in the short time that surgical management may still be a viable option to save the dog's life, which is why many dogs die before treatment can be initiated.
What else can I help you with?
What causes mesenteric?
Inflamation of the lymph nodes due to a pathogen is the cause of Mesenteric Adenitis.

Is marajauna bad for dogs?
Yes it is. If you dog has ingested it, take it to the vet immediately! THC has a different effect on dogs than humans. If inhaled it can cause brain damage as well a nervous system and vision problems. If ingested it can cause mesenteric torsion, a 99% fatal condition where the dogs intestines or stomach twist up on themselves and begin rotting/dying immediately.
What is racking in a bridge?
a twisting force that causes torsion.
Is spraining your ankle a shear or torsion force?
Spraining your ankle is typically caused by a torsion force, which is a twisting force that causes the ligaments in the ankle to stretch or tear.
Which artery supplies the small intestine and upper half of the large intestine?
Inferior mesenteric
What is the difference between torsion force and tension force?
Torsion force is the twisting force applied to an object, causing it to rotate around an axis. Tension force is the pulling force applied to an object, stretching it in the direction of the force. In simple terms, torsion force causes rotation while tension force causes elongation.
How are tension and torsion are different from one another?
Tension is a force that pulls or stretches an object, while torsion is a force that causes twisting or rotation in an object. Tension acts along the length of an object, while torsion acts perpendicular to the length of an object.
Which one is the largest branch of the abdominal aorta renal or mesenteric?
Superior Mesenteric Artery
Application of torsion?
Torsion is the twisting of an element from one end relative to the other; this causes deviation from its original shape.An application is as follows:Calculating the torsion of a member (say an I-Beam) to determine the maximum load the structure (in this case I-Beam) can handle before failure. In engineering, specifically Civil Engineering, this is extremely applicable.NOTE: Bending moment is NOT the same as torsion.
Supplies most of the small intestine?
The superior mesenteric
What vein can drain the transverse colon if the superior mesenteric vein is blocked?
Probably the inf mesenteric vein
