The Indian Veterinary Journal (February, 2015) 54 Health Organisation tumour staging system for gastric tumours (Jonathan Bray and Reto Neiger,2011), primary tumour did not invade serosa (T-1), there was no evidence of lymph node involvement (N-0) and no evidence of distant metastasis (M-0). For localized gastric carci- noma, surgery was the only potentially curative modality (Gualtieri et al., 1999). As the tumour was excised completely along with adequate margins of normal tissue, prognosis was good. Otherwise, for gastric adenocarcinoma, the median survival was 2 months despite surgical excision and the prognosis was poor (Swann et al, 2002). In order to further prevent pyloric stenosis after surgery, pyloromyotomy was performed which suppressed the state of abnor- mal excitation of the pyloric portion, resulting in the decrease of contraction pressure of the pylorus. Hence for the individual clinician, the use of TMN Tumour staging system has encour- aged for developing a better line of treatment and this may help in infuencing the progno- sis.

Clinically, buffalo showed ruminal atony, chronic recurrent bloat, normal to subnormal temperature, lethargic and arching of back and anorexia before death. The buffalo died after one month of onset of bloat. Detailed necropsy revealed nails as cause of trauma to diaphragm leading to repture and herniation of reticulum in to thoracic cavity and respiratory disturbances resulted into death. 1 Corresponding author : Email : gk_sawale@yahoo.com Canine gastric adenocarcinoma...
