Abstract

This study was retrospectively investigated the clinical features, diagnostic imaging, treatment, and prognosis of foreign bodies according to alimentary site and type of foreign body, in 143 dogs. Among 28 breeds, Maltese, Shih Tzu, and terriers including the Yorkshire terrier were presented with high prevalence. Bone was the most commonly identified (33%) foreign body regardless of alimentary site. Approximately 76% of foreign bodies were in the stomach and small intestine. All esophageal foreign bodies were diagnosed on survey radiography, with the most common location being the caudal thoracic esophageal segment. Further diagnostic examinations including ultrasonography or contrast studies were additionally performed to detect radiolucent foreign bodies and perforation or leakage in the stomach and intestine. However, most seeds could be identified based on the characteristic features such as hyperdense thin double lines and inner gas on survey radiography. In conclusion, complications such as peritonitis and intestinal perforation were mainly observed in cases with seeds and linear foreign bodies. Especially, fabric foreign bodies could be induce peritonitis and re-perforation with high prevalence after surgical correction.
