Abstract:
A nine-month-old male Labrador retriever was presented to our clinic with a history of vomiting since 24 hours. Abdominal palpation revealed hard round intraabdominal mass, further transabdominal ultrasonography revealed shadowing in the intestine with gas-filled loops. Survey radiograph of the lateral abdomen revealed air-filled intestinal loops. Therefore emergency enterotomy was performed and a foreign body is retrieved and it was an areca nut. The animal recovered uneventfully.
