“…Various types of abdominal FB have been reported in dogs, which usually remain confined to the GIT lumen (Larson and Madsen 2010, Becker 2011, Creedy and Bates 2011, Battisti and others 2012, Allman and Pastori 2013, Nair and others 2013, Kassem and others 2014). GIT-related FBs are typically removed surgically (Kassem and others 2014) or less commonly endoscopically (Shin and others 2010, Baranidharan and others 2013).…”

This case presents a thorn‐induced abdominal foreign body granuloma that was removed with single incision laparoscopic surgery and an extraction bag. An 11‐year‐old female cheetah presented for routine laparoscopic ovariectomy. Abdominal palpation detected a mid‐abdominal mass. Differential diagnoses were neoplasia and foreign body. Laparoscopic exploration of the peritoneal cavity revealed an omentalised mass, which was successfully removed with the aid of bipolar electrocoagulation. Microscopic investigation intraoperatively and postoperatively confirmed extensive foreign body‐induced granulomatous inflammation. The foreign body was well encapsulated by fibrous tissue with no adjacent stricture formation. The patient made a complete recovery, and this is the first case report of a thorn‐induced abdominal foreign body removed with minimally invasive surgery in a wild African carnivore.

“…In Case 2, recovery was uneventful and the cat was reported normal at 6‐month follow‐up. It is unclear from the surgery report whether the trichobezoar in Case 2 was obstructive or rather an incidental finding at surgery; it is possible that the trichobezoar contributed to the development of GDV in this case as gastric foreign bodies have been found to be a significant risk factor for GDV in dogs . In Case 1, the cat experienced persistent gastric distension postoperatively, which did not respond to standard prokinetic and supportive care therapies and necessitated prolonged hospitalization.…”

Gastric dilatation-volvulus in cats is a rare event and appears to occur in 2 clinical settings: in combination with traumatic diaphragmatic hernia (as previously reported) and without a history of trauma or diaphragmatic hernia, as in the 2 cases reported here. Clinicians should consider GDV in the list of differentials for cats with respiratory distress and abdominal distension, even if classic radiographic findings are not present.

“…If the confidence interval does not contain the value 1, the null hypothesis is rejected, i.e. the alternative hypothesis is accepted, which states that there is a difference between exposed and non-exposed subjects to the risk factor, so that the OR value is significant ( Purebred dogs are reported to present a significant risk factor for GDV 10,12,23,25 . Compatible with existing literature 21,23 , this research also demonstrates purebred dogs have an increased likelihood of developing GDV.…”

“…Despite the complexity of the risk factors, it is possible to reduce the incidence of GDV in high-risk breeds by observing some precautions 25 . It is not recommended to feed the dog only once a day 25 .…”

Objective To evaluate/ determine the risk factors for dogs presented with Gastric Dilation- Volvulus (GDV) to a referral veterinary centre and to compare the results with those currently reported in veterinary literature. Materials and Methods The observational case-control study comprised a population of 215 dogs that attended the referral centre between 2000 and 2018. Medical records were searched for GDV and those matching the criteria were manually reviewed. A questionnaire was completed by the owners of the dogs involved in the study (both case and control populations) in order to gain further information that could be considered relevant to GDVs. In particular, information included the dogs’ behaviour and the dogs daily activities. Results The study included 115 cases of GDV and 115 controls. Out of the GDV dogs 13% (15/115) were small breed dogs and the remaining 87% (100/115) either large or giant breeds. The following risk factors for developing a GDV have been identified: Purebred dogs over 3 years old and either large of giant breeds, weighing > 30 kg. Foreign body ingestion, diarrhoea, and grass consumption were also associated to increase the likelihood in developing GDV. Behavioural temperament was not associated with developing GDV. Clinical Significance The findings support previously identified risk factors in the development of GDV, but characteristics related to the dogs temperament warrant further investigation. Knowledge of these results will further allow clinicians to make evidence‐based recommendations to owners in attempting to prevent GDV in dogs. Furthermore this paper confirms that the risk of GDV in certain breeds and in certain conditions is always high and that GDV is still an extremely current disease.
