Abstract
In the routine of small animal veterinary clinics, the ingestion of foreign bodies, such as pieces of fabric, shoelaces, ropes, balls, bones and toothpicks, is common. Depending on the case and the amount ingested, they may pass normally in the feces or may require surgical intervention to remove. Symptoms can be broad, mainly including the occurrence of vomiting, lack of appetite and apathy. For the correct diagnosis of the disease, a combination of factors such as anamnesis, symptoms and the results of complementary tests such as radiography and ultrasound, must be taken into account. This work aims to report a case of a linear foreign body removed by gastrotomy in a dog.
