Owners noted their 2 1/2-year-old cat playing with a 40-inch steel guitar string. They left the room briefly and upon return could not locate the string. The guitar string spanned the GI tract from the gastric lumen to the ileocolic junction.


A 9-year-old female bull mastiff was presented with the owner reporting that the pet had not eaten or drunk water in three days. Upon exam, she was depressed and salivating excessively. Her stomach and intestines were full of air. Doctors suspected that she might have a possible esophageal irritation or stricture and decided to do rads. Upon review, someone on staff exclaimed that the dog had eaten an alien. This is not an actual object that had to be removed, just a coincidental image.


A 3-year-old female Maine **** presented for gagging and vomiting for one week. Exam of the pharyngeal area revealed a small piece of string. Exam of the tongue revealed a 1 mm metallic point protruding from the mid-body of the tongue. X-rays revealed a sewing needle embedded from the root to mid-body of the tongue. The string was cut from the needle and a 12-inch piece was easily removed from the esophagus.

A client said her dog, Daisy, had vomited a few nails while riding in the car. Radiographs revealed that Daisy had a lot of nails in her stomach and a few in her small intestine. More than 100 finishing nails were removed via two gastronomy incisions.


A 46-pound English bulldog swallowed a 9-inch screwdriver. Dog did very well after cranial laparotomy and gastrotomy. However, after he woke up, he promptly ate his intravenous injection port!



Kitty Kitty, an 18-month-old neutered male domestic cat, presented for possible electrocution. The owner found him lying near the electric cord of a floor lamp. He had defecated on the floor and the electric cord had bite marks on it.
On presentation he was quiet, alert and responsive. He had burn marks on his tongue and was hyper-salivating. A digital radiograph revealed a radiodense material in his esophagus, stomach and proximal small intestines. The wires were removed in surgery, and recovery was normal with no complications.



Dogo Argentina was presented because of anorexia and lethargy; no vomit or diarrhea. He'd swallowed a Black Knight.


Smore is a 3 year old golden retriever that was 60 days pregnant with 11 puppies. She presented with 5 large rocks in her intestinal tract. A cesarian and foreign body surgery were performed to save both Smore and all 11 pups. The radiograph shows puppy spines, skulls, and all 5 rocks.


Sicily, a five-year-old domestic short hair, was dropped off with a three day history of vomiting, lethargy and anorexia. In her was an uncountable amount of hair ties due to them due to them being chewed to pieces.
