Abstract

A two and half year-old female American Bully dog was presented to District Veterinary Centre, Ernakulam with a history of anorexia and vomiting and absence of defecation for the past seven days. Abdominal palpation revealed a hard intraabdominal mass, further transabdominal ultrasonography revealed hypoechoic area surrounded by anechoic area. Survey radiography of lateral abdomen revealed slightly radiopaque mass in the intestinal loops. Therefore, emergency enterotomy was performed and a foreign body was retrieved and it was rubber handle of vessel. The animal recovered uneventfully.
