Description Ingestion of foreign bodies is common in dogs. A non-descript male dog was presented to Veterinary College and Research Institute Hospital with suspicion of having swallowed a shaving blade two days earlier. Clinical examination revealed hydrated animal with normal vital signs. Radiography confirmed the presence of a blade in the stomach. Dog was premedicated with glycopyrrolate. Indication of anaesthesia was done with propofol and maintenance was done using ketamine and diazepam. Endoscopy revealed the presence of blade, linear ulcerations and erosions in the stomach. The blade was retrieved using snare under endoscopic guidance. An over-tube to protect the oesophagus was used during the retrieval of the blade. Dog was administered with amoxicillin- clavulanate, pantaprazole and fluid therapy for three days. The dog had uneventful recovery following therapy.
