Only had small amount of breakfast yesterday- but ate dinner last night, no witnessed vomitThis morning noticed lots of regurgitated grass in the yard.Would not want breakfast this morning - behaviourally very flat Other dog at home fine, no symptoms. UTD on preventatives - 1st of every month, gave on Mon/Tuesday. Endoguard - 225mg oxibendazole and 50mg praziquantel. Received 1 tablet. Never had this particular one before.Is a chewer - chews branches off plants, plastic, pegs anything. No history of FB ingestion. Defecating normally, no diarrhoea. Objective: QAR, quite flat in consult, usually very active and playful. Cardio: 140, normokinetic, no obvious murmur or arrhythmia   Temp:  39.0MM/CRT/Hydration: pink, slightly tacky MM, <2s, no delayed skin tent. RESP: clear, normal bronchovesicular sounds   GIT/UG: slightly tender on abdominal palpation, firm faeces felt on rectal palpation.Skin/Ears: Clean coat, well groomed. Ears free from discharge on external exam of the internal pinnae.  M/S: ambulating fine   Eyes: clean and bright  Dental: Gr0/4   Lymph Nodes: wnl   BCS: 5/9 Discussed with O that given she has a hx of chewing foreign material, and that she is only v+ with no d+ I am more suspicious of FB ingestion vs gastroenteritis. Advised O I think best option is to admit for radiographs and IVFT for further investigation. O opted to admit for radiographs. Estimate provided and consented. Paid $500 deposit.  Assessment: Acute vomiting ddx: FB ingestion, gastroenteritis, dietary indiscretion, toxin ingestion, intussusception, hepatic disease, renal dz, pancreatitis, neoplasia, other.5% dehydration. Treatment: Nil for now Plan: Admit for IVFT and radiographs for FB investigation. =========================================================================Laboratory: GHP all wnl except: ALT High 131 U/L [10 - 125] - gastroenteritis, hepatopathy (infectious vs inflammatory), toxin ingestion, PSS, other Treatment: Maropitant (10mg/ml) 0.72mL i/vPremed: Medetomidine (1mg/ml) 0.1ml  + Methadone (10mg/ml) 0.2ml i/v Started 53ml/hr hartmanns (Adjusted for 5% dehydration as per AES fluid chart)  Nails trimmedImaging: 1 > View: R Lateral abdo  Factors: 11cm 80kvp 1.4mas Quality: Positioning good, label present, sandbag artefact, collimation good, good exposure. 2 > View: L Lateral abdo Factors: 11cm 80kvp 1.4mas Quality: Positioning good, label present, sandbag artefact, collimation good, good exposure. 3 > View: DV abdo Factors: 13cm 80kvp 2.0mas Quality: Positioning good, label present, sandbag artefact, collimation good, good exposure.

Microchip present in dorsum. Normal bowel population with no gas distension. Findings Abnormal: Possibly mild opening of tibial crest growth plate bilaterally (incidental) Conclusions: No obvious FB present cannot rule out 100%. No obstructive pattern present.Recommendation: Supportive care at home with maropitant on board and bland diet. Advised if in pain can administer baby liquid panadol. If continuing to vomit, consider repeat abdo xrays to assess gas movement Recovery - Reversal 0.01mL atipamazole i/m @ 6.10pm (1:10 dilution)Plan:Discussed with O on discharge: Bloods fairly unremarkable. Showed radiographs on the computer and discussed not seeing an obstructive pattern and stomach not distended, although we cannot 100% rule out a foreign body as the opacity may be similar to soft tissue and she may just be able to pass it naturally. Advised she is a bit drooly and quiet due to the sedation given to her.Start bland diet - chicken and rice or i/d tomorrow morning. Skip dinner tonight due to the sedation. If wanting to give pain relief -  Panadol liquid (baby)(100mg/ml) 0.72 mls to give PO twice per day.Advised if she vomits over maropitant injection to bring her back in over the weekend. INI - u/s, repeat xrays +/- possibly ex lap.FUC tomorrow - how is she?
