“…In addition to the 2 reports of metallic GI FB removal in 2 dogs, few other reports exist in the veterinary literature. In 2009, a magnetic retriever obtained from a craft store was used to successfully retrieve a piece of broken scalpel blade from the tarsocrural joint of a horse 5 . Pigs also have been used as models for the retrieval of suture needles from the abdominal cavity to test novel laparoscopic magnets for use in humans 6,7 .…”

ObjectiveDescribe presenting signs, diagnostic findings, and magnet‐assisted endoscopic removal method of ferromagnetic gastric foreign bodies (FBs) in dogs.Clinical PresentationFour dogs presented with ingestion of sharp metallic FBs. The presence of gastric FBs was confirmed by abdominal radiography.ResultsIn 3 cases, initial attempts at endoscopic removal were unsuccessful because of ingesta and fluid in the stomach. A magnet contained within a Roth net was introduced endoscopically. Magnet and attached objects were successfully removed from the stomach. In the fourth case, removal with a magnet was judged to be the most expedient method of removal because multiple metallic objects were present.Clinical RelevanceAn endoscopic technique was used for the removal of difficult‐to‐visualize or multiple metallic FBs. The use of this technique allows the removal of ferromagnetic gastric FBs without surgery or risk of complications associated with the passage of sharp material through the gastrointestinal (GI) tract.
