Acute gastric dilatation (AGD), one of the common causes of emergency occurs in macaca monkeys that are accommodated as laboratory-housed nonhuman primates. This report introduces some cases of occurrence in raising primates. The primates revealed an acute gastric dilatation, including the histories that were trained by monkey chair, anesthetized for the study or intact case. The clinical signs were comatose condition with sever abdominal distension, dehydration, cyanosis and apnea. One case died by deterioration of systemic body condition and performed necropsy. The other cases recovered from the AGD by the emergency treatment using the gastric tube and fluid therapy. Necropsy revealed the huge stomach filled with water, gas and ingesta. This report suggests that etiologic factors of AGD may include non-specific factors like these cases, with special emphasis on the incidence and management of AGD in nonhuman primates.
