;) many cows, been working large animal practice since 2004!

Merck vet manual: "Chronic peritonitis is associated with development of fibrous adhesions. Depending on localization, rectal palpation may reveal adhesions between intestinal loops and peritoneum. Cattle may suffer from chronic indigestion (Hoflund syndrome, abomasal impaction) or toxemia, with periods of acute, severe illness caused by partial intestinal obstruction. The majority of cattle develop a localized peritonitis by extensive fibrin formation; however, in a few cases the abdominal cavity contains large volumes of turbid, infected peritoneal fluid."

Which looks like stalagmites, stalagtites and odd structures when you peek into the abdominal cavity by endoscope...
