Dog Stomach, Foreign Body, Endoscopic Snare, Acoustic Shadowing.Abstract
A four-year-old male German Shepherd was presented with a history of intermittent vomiting, anorexia, and lethargy for the past two days. Abdomen palpation revealed a firm mass in the cranial abdomen. Abdominal ultrasonography identified a hyperechoic area with acoustic shadowing in the gastric region. Gastroscopy revealed cloth in the stomach, which was retrieved using an endoscopic snare. The animal showed marked improvement with resolution of clinical signs.
