Abstract

Gastrointestinal foreign bodies are common in animals and may present with various clinical manifestations depending on the location, severity, and duration of the obstruction. Linear foreign body (LFB) obstructions are more common in cats compared to dogs, and the foreign body causing the obstruction is usually thread or threaded needle. In our study, it was aimed to determine the radiography and the localization of the obstruction in the diagnosis of LFB in cats, to investigate the operative treatment options and their effects on the prognosis. The study material consisted of 12 cats of different breeds, ages, and genders, who were referred with the suspicion of foreign body with acute/chronic vomiting and anorexia. After the identification of the foreign body causing the obstruction, treatment was planned considering its localization, severity and duration of pathology. All foreign bodies were removed surgical procedures. The most common finding was the plication in the intestines. Four cats died in the postoperative period. As a result, early and rapid diagnosis in LFB positively affects the prognosis. Intestinal perforations caused by LFB and infection due to bacterial translocation are inevitable in delayed cases. Another issue to be considered is that in cats that show symptoms of gastrointestinal system origin, it is extremely important to carry out a detailed examination of the mouth. In addition, it is thought that trying to pull out the LFBs that protruding out from the anus increases the risk of perforation in the intestines.
