Intussusception is a common surgical disorder in puppies. Double intussusception (DI) however, is an extremely rare form of this pathology. The authors report a case of a 3-month-old, Shih-Tzu puppy referred to Veterinary Medical Center of Chungbuk National University, Korea with symptoms of abdominal discomfort, intermittent vomiting and bloody diarrhea for 5 days. Ultrasonographic examination of the left mid-abdominal region revealed a mass with a %26apos;triple case%26apos; sign completely different from the classic %26apos;target sign%26apos;. The surgical intervention confirmed it to be an ileocecal DI in ascending colon. The case emphasizes the rare %26apos;triple case%26apos; sign as a descriptive finding on ultrasonography in DI presentations.
