Operative Treatment of Eosephageal Obstruction in A Calf

A 2-months-old female Simmental calf was referred to University of Erciyes, Faculty of Veterinary Science, Large Animal Clinics for the complaint of no food and water intake for two days. In the anamnesis, the calf had suffered from the diffuculty in water and food intake suddenly two days ago and the food and water were taken out from the mouth as soon as swallowed. Eosephageal catheter was applied for any obstruction and the catheter did not pass through the eosephageal canal at the region of cardia. Latero lateral abdominal imaging was taken and a soft tissue opacity was noted at the region of cardia. At the operation, a fabric at the size of 30x20 cm was detected at the rumen. Furthermore, same foreign objects obstructing the region of cardia was taken out. In conclusion, the case report was considered to be helpful for the clinical practice for the animal indicating regurgitation after feding and drinking.
