Abstract

An adult male canine, with a history of swallowing two polythene bags containing newly purchased lengthy-fishes and tied with cotton thread was presented at the Veterinary Clinical Complex, CUTM and attempts were made to examine the oral cavity. Palpation at the cervical region failed to rule out any physical type of obstruction at the cervical oesphageal region and emetics were tried and the condition was retrieved finally by xylazine administration, followed by the atropine usage and there is uneventful recovery of the dog, subsequent to the therapeutic interventions.
