Abstract
A four-year-old female buffalo was presented with a complaint of accidental ingestion of fishhook along with fodder. The owner tried to pull out the fishhook thread during ingestion, accidentally the thread broke and, the fishhook was ingested by the buffalo. The clinical examination revealed hypersalivation and the animal was anxious to observe. Radiography on a standing animal revealed fishhook shape metallic opacity just below the 4 to 5th cervical vertebrae within the esophagus. The fishhook was removed manually without any surgical intervention with the help of the right hand under deep sedation. Recovery was uneventful and soon after the intervention the animal was observed to be almost back to normalcy.
