Large number of species can suffer because of gastro-intestinal foreign bodies (bezoars); the word bezoar is derived from Arabic "badzehr" or the Persian word "padzahr", meaning an antidote for poisons, and those found in the goat were considered to have healing properties. Depending on the content, there can be phytobezoars, trichobezoars, trichophytobezoars, lactobezoars, lithobezoars or pharmacobezoars. In the last decades, due to urban development and pollution, it became difficult to ignore the adverse effects of nylon debris on the hayfield or pastures. Although small ruminants have a different prehension than bovines, they can introduce indigestible materials like plastic that may represent a core for the future bezoars. In this paper, a 5-year-old, 17 Kg body weight Tibetan doe was referred in January 2017 to the Teaching Veterinary Hospital (OVUD)
