“…Inconsistent with our study, the ages of the cat patients with FB (2.7 ± 0.86 years) were younger than those of control cats (4.35 ± 1.25 years). Regarding the sex of the cats, in this report, we found that the occurrence of FB was commonly found in male cats, and this observation coincided with other investigations that reported male dogs swallowed FB more than females (12,13).…”

Gastrointestinal foreign body (FB) obstruction in felines is one of the emergencies and commonly required surgical interventions. The purpose of this study was therefore to investigate the risk factors that could prone cats to ingest FB. This study was retrospectively conducted on sixty-five cats that had been diagnosed with FB obstruction. On the other hand, sixty-five cats that had no clinical findings suggestive of gastrointestinal illnesses were used as controls. Among cats with gastrointestinal illnesses, we found that 9.97% had FB obstructions. The most common presenting breeds of both cat patients with FB obstruction and controls were Persian and Siamese. Similarly, most of the presented normal and diseased cats were males. Cats with FB were younger (p<0.05) than those of control cats. There was no significant difference in the body weight for cats with FB versus control cats. Among the investigated factors, we also observed that living style, anxiety/stress, and frequency of exercise were the only factors that were strongly associated with the occurrence of FB obstruction. In conclusion, observations of this study indicate that a living style, anxiety/stress, and frequency of exercise have a significant impact on cat behavior and should be seen by cat-owned clients as important to prevent pica. Thus, the likelihood of blockage of the gastrointestinal tract by foreign bodies can be reduced.

“…It has been demonstrated that the young ages (3.5 -3.7 years in dogs and 1.6-4 years in cats) have a higher chance of swallowing a large FB (10,(12)(13)(14). Inconsistent with our study, the ages of the cat patients with FB (2.7 ± 0.86 years) were younger than those of control cats (4.35 ± 1.25 years).…”

In this study, the operative treatment results of foreign body ingestion cases in 12 cats brought to Surgery Clinic of XXXX University Animal Health Practice and Research Hospital with various complaints between 2020 and 2023 were evaluated. As a result of radiographic examination, foreign bodies were detected in the stomach of 3 patients and in the intestines of 9 patients. In the pre-operative period, the blood parameters of the patients were evaluated and all patients were administered fluid therapy and antibacterial treatment for prophylaxis. Foreign body was removed from the relevant area operatively under general anesthesia. In the post-operative period, all patients except 1 (case no: 4) included in the study were hospitalized and appropriate diet and post-operative care were applied. As a result, 11 (91.66%) of the 12 patients who underwent surgery in the study were discarged between post-operative 11th and 21st days without any complications. In the study, it was concluded that operative treatment was necessary in cases of foreign body ingestion in cats and that post-operative care was of great importance in prognosis.

The purpose of this report is to describe an unusual case of mechanical intestinal obstruction (IOM) in a dog, caused by pequi (Caryocar brasiliense), which resulted in the patient's death, describing the findings in the physical exams, diagnostic aid and necroscopy. IOM is a frequent cause of emergence in veterinary medicine for small animals. It is usually caused by foreign bodies ingested by the animal. As a methodology, a five-year-old dog reported a history of weight loss and anorexia for three days, in addition to frequent vomiting. The results and discussion showed an abdominal ultrasound examination with an oval-shaped structure, measuring about 3.5 cm in length, forming a strong acoustic shadow, with the presence of segmental dilation in the anterior intestinal portion. The radiographic examination showed segments of dilated intestinal loops and filled with gas, with the presence of an oval-shaped radiopaque structure, with dimensions of 2.7 x 1.5 cm, in the region of the small intestine, close to the bladder. The necropsy exam confirmed the location of the foreign body in the proximal portion of the jejunum, already identified by imaging exams, in the case of pequi (Caryocar brasiliense). It was possible to conclude that the pequi seed proved to be a considerable etiological agent of IOM, although there are no other reports.
