Abstract

A 9-month old 3.2 kg of body weight, male Chihuahua was presented with a history of the intermittent vomiting for two days. Abdominal radiograph showed a foreign body in abdominal cavity which was suggested to be a micro battery in small intestine. Although the dog was treated symptomatically for two days, physical condition of the patient worsened, therefore exploratory laparotomy was performed. A large adhesive lesion involved the perforated ileum and large intestines, was found. A micro battery was stuck in the ileum resulting in a intestinal perforation. A whole of the small intestine was resected because of the cranial mesenteric artery damage during separating the adhesion. The dog lost body weight gradually and died 158 days after first admission of short bowel syndrome. <br>
