Abstract
An unusual case of 4-years old female cat was presented to the Teaching and Training Pet Hospital and Research Center (TTPHRC), Purbachal, Dhaka with a complaint of accidental ingestion of sewing needle connected with long thread on the day of incidence. The presented cat didn’t have any other complication on physical examination. Lateral and ventrodorsal radiograph of the abdomen showed the location of sewing needle in the stomach. On the 2nd day of incidence, presurgical radiographs confirmed the migration of sewing needle to the posterior location. Following laparotomy, stomach and intestine were gently checked by manual palpation for any perforation and location of sewing needle detected in the duodenum. The needle was successfully extracted by duodenotomy. The owner was contacted regularly till two weeks postoperatively and the cat recovered without any complication.
