Abstract
Foreign bodies are digestible or not objects that can cause esophageal obstruction. Once located, the clinician must decide whether to observe its passage or perform the removal, being immediate intervention the most recommended. With that, we aimed to report a case of foreign body in the caudal esophagus of a canine, female, 8 years, with history of regurgitation and hyporexia. Based on anamnesis and physical examination findings, radiographs were performed in the laterolateral and ventrodorsal incidences, which showed the presence of radiopaque image (bone), confirming the presence of esophageal foreign body. In addition, ultrasound was requested and tests of serum biochemistry, all with no changes. As conduct, gastrostomy was performed to remove the bone and desobstruction.
