“…Here, under the influence of ruminal and abomasal movements, numerous conglomerates (possibly around plastic debris or milk clot as nucleus) can agglutinate firmly in one single forestomach. If the trichobezoars are small, they can go through intestines causing ulcer and melena [12].…”

“…After a clinical (clinical signs and abdominal palpation) and paraclinical (abdominal computed tomography, radiography and ultrasonography) diagnosis, a surgical treatment must be applied depending both on the localization and the size of the bezoars [10,12].…”

“…Large numbers of species, including humans, pets, ruminants and wild animals have been noted as suffering because of foreign bodies (bezoars) at different levels of the gastrointestinal tract [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. 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 and were therefore much sought after for medicinal purposes [2,6,12]. In 1662, the English king, James the I st , had a bezoar stone covered in gold included in his crown [2].…”

“…Goats were first connected with the term bezoar in the 12 century BC after stone-like concretions were found in the stomach of a Syrian goat [6]. Depending on the content, there can be phytobezoars, trichobezoars, trichophytobezoars, lactobezoars, lithobezoars or pharmacobezoars [4,[13][14]8,11,12]. Mainly in young ruminants, because of fibers or trace element deficiency (copper, zinc cobalt, calcium, phosphorus, sodium, chloride, manganese, as well as vitamin or a protein deficiency) trichophagia could be noticed; this behavior is characterized by persistent suckling of congeners or excessive licking as a result of lice or mange infestation [1,9].…”

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)

“…The word bezoar is originated from Arabic "badzehr" meaning an antidote for poisons. In old times, bezoars recovered from goat were considered as having heeling properties from medicinal perspective (3). Depending on the nature of content in the gastrointestinal tract, there are different types of bezoars including phytobezoars, trichobezoars, lithobezoars, phytotrichobezoars, lactobezoars and pharmcobezoars (13).…”

Ingestion of indigestible foreign bodies in both domestic and wild ruminants are very common. Indigestible foreign materials can be ingested during free range grazing or under captivity in zoos or game parks. There are different types of bezoars in literature. The most common in animals are phytobezoars, trichobezoars, lactobezoars, phytotrichobezoars, lithobezoars or pharmacobezoars. This is a case study of an adult (4 years old), 40 kg body weight female Fallow Deer (Dama dama) which was reared with other four more Fallow Deer does at Riyadh Zoological Garden. The doe was found sluggish and weak. On presentation the veterinarian of the zoo noticed the anorexia, pale mucous membranes and dullness. There was Normocytic Normochromic anaemia, low RBCs and Haematocrit level, high neutrophil count and leucocytosis. The doe was subjected to medicinal and supportive therapy but she could not recover and found dead on very next day. On post-mortem examination, an unusual large polythene bezoar along with calcified stony mass recovered from the rumen. The results suggested that the rumen impaction in the Fallow Deer might be due scavenging on refused Plastic dumps in the premises left over by visitors to the zoo and that the blood biochemical alterations, alongside clinical signs, might be of some diagnostic assistance.
