Abstract

A 14 year-old Shih-tzu was referred to the Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital of Chungnam National University with a history of foreign body ingestion and vomiting. The vomitus contained ketoprofen plaster, which is used for orthopedic analgesia in humans. Supportive care and gastrointestinal (GI) protective agents were administered, including famotidine, misoprostol, sucralfate, omeprazole, and fluid therapy. However, the clinical signs worsened, and anemia, melena, leukocytosis, and azotemia developed. The patient was diagnosed with GI hemorrhage and underwent a whole blood transfusion followed by barium sulfate administration. After administering barium sulfate as a GI protectant, the clinical signs improved, and the patient was discharged.

14년령의 Shih-Tzu 개가 이물섭취 및 구토를 주 증으로 본원에 내원하였다. 구토물은 인의에서 사용되는 부착형 제제인 ketoprofen plaster 였다. 대증치료로 위장관 보호제 투여와 수액요법을 실시하였다. 하지만 임상증상은 점점 악화되어 빈혈 및 흑색변, 백혈구 증가증, 고지혈증이 관찰되었다. 환자는 위장관 출혈이 있는 것으로 평가되었고, 수혈 및 위장관 보호제로 바륨제제를 도포하였다. 바륨제제를 위장관 보호제로 사용한 후 임상증상의 개선이 확인 되었다.
