CARE PLAN: FOREIGN BODY SURGERY

AKA: REMOVAL OF OBJECT FROM STOMACH / INTESTINES SURGERY

A foreign body is the medical term for when an object, such as a ball, rock, clothing, is ingested by an animal and becomes lodged in the gastrointestinal tract of the stomach or intestines. In some cases, animals will pass foreign objects. In many others, surgery may be required to remove the objects, sometimes as an emergency to save the animals life.
