Gastric foreign body

This naughty little man managed to eat a large part of plastic fencing...A MONTH AGO!! And only started showing clinical signs this past weekend

We did abdominal X-rays that didn't show much wrong, but on ultrasound, we could see a possible blockage - a gastric foreign body - in the stomach. An exploratory laparotomy revealed a stomach full of hard pieces of plastic that got entangled with a bunch of other material to form a large blockage in the stomach. Another piece of plastic was also removed from the small intestines.

The little man is doing well and ready to eat anything he sees just 1 day post-surgery.
