Owner then observed red strings protruding from the anus. Suspected to be from a rope toy she was seen playing with earlier today. Owner attempted to gently pull on the string, which caused pain.

Neurological examination: No cranial or peripheral neurological deficit noted. Full neuro exam not completedMusculoskeletal: Ambulatory, able to rise and ambulate without difficulty. Normal gait.Problem List:1. Linear foreign body protruding from anus2. Agitation/distressDifferential Diagnosis:Gastrointestinal linear foreign body (partial or complete).Diagnostics:A rectal examination was performed with a nurse assisting for restraint. The string was able to be gently teased out and was removed in its entirety. The string was approximately 40cm long.Assessment:Nora presented for a suspected linear foreign body. The string was successfully removed via rectal examination without the need for sedation. The primary concern is the potential for plication if more material remains in the gastrointestinal tract. She will need close monitoring for signs of vomiting, abdominal discomfort, not eating.Client Communication:Discussed the risks of linear foreign bodies, including gastrointestinal plication and obstruction. Explained that we cannot be certain there is no more material ingested. Advised that radiographs may not be useful for identifying fabric material unless there are signs of obstruction. Discussed the plan to monitor at home. Advised to add a bulking agent eg. Cooked pumpkin to the diet to help pass any remaining material. Advised on signs to monitor for that would warrant immediate re-presentation, including vomiting, inappetence, or increased lethargy. A copy of the history will be sent to their regular vet, Vet West Midland. Treatment:No medications prescribed.Plan:Monitor closely at home for vomiting, lethargy, or inappetence. If these signs occur, seek immediate veterinary attention.Add a dietary bulking agent to her food, such as cooked pumpkin or psyllium husk (one teaspoon twice daily), to help pass any potential remaining foreign material.Follow up with their regular veterinarian, Vet West Midland, as planned for her desexing surgery (this Friday).Avoid rope toys in the future.
