Left Displaced Abomasum with Ulcer

Holstein cow approximately 4 weeks postpartum, with left displaced abomasum. A few days before surgery, she was treated with vitamin K for a transient episode of melena.
In the photo, taken during surgery, the abomasum has already been repositioned, and a supramid suture has been placed in the parapyloric region to anchor the pylorus to the anterior margin of the laparotomy incision on the right flank.
