Reporte de caso: cuerpo extraño lineal en un canino Bulldog inglés con síndrome de intestino corto.

Abstract

Intestinal obstruction by foreign body usually causes the animal to present recurrent vomiting, as well as a marked depression in the dog and sometimes diarrhea and abdominal pain may occur. In addition to this, it is also shown that this type of alteration is common in dogs and cats of different ages, especially in the younger ones since they have more indiscriminate eating habits. Intussusception occurs when a segment of the intestine is introduced into a section next to it, usually due to the presence of obstructions in this intestinal section. In this way we present a case of linear foreign body in an English bulldog canine with short bowel syndrome, which presented a chronic and frequent vomiting, as well as a notorious decay and swallowing difficulties, we proceeded to perform an X-ray detailing the presence of a linear object in the intestine, through ultrasound it was determined that there was also an intussusception, so the treatment to choose was through the to surgical procedure, this treatment was performed effectively, obtaining satisfactory results.
