Abstract
A dead seven-month-old female Rottweiler dog was presented to the necropsy unit of the University of Ilorin Veterinary Teaching hospital for post-mortem examination. The owner complained of vomiting, salivating, and restlessness prior to the death of the dog. The stomach was filled with black polythene materials at necropsy, weighing 3 Kg. The gastric mucosa was hyperaemic with the right lobes of the lungs severely congested. The heart was globous with prominent coronary vessels. The liver showed areas of diffused necrosis with a slightly enlarged left kidney. Based on the above findings, it was diagnosed as a case of gastric obstruction from nylon. The cause and pathogenesis of gastric impaction are discussed.
