Liver lobe torsions are rarely encountered in dogs and cats. Clinical signs are variable as presentation can be acute or chronic and may include abdominal pain, anorexia, anemia, abdominal effusion, lethargy and sudden death. Liver lobe torsion has been reported in adult and old cats only. This case report describes an uncommon presentation of a hemoabdomen in a young cat secondary to a liver lobe and gallbladder torsion, managed with blood transfusions and successfully treated by one stage liver lobe lobectomy and cholecystectomy. Liver lobe torsion therefore appears to be a rare cause of hemoabdomen in young cats.
