Abstract
A seven-month-old female Rottweiler dog was presented to the necropsy unit of the University of Ilorin Veterinary Teaching hospital for post-mortem examination. The owner complained of vomiting, salivating, and restlessness prior to the death of the dog. The stomach was filled with black polythene materials at necropsy, weighing 3kg. The gastric mucosa was hyperaemic with the right lobes of the lungs severely congested. The heart was globous with prominent coronary vessels. The liver showed areas of diffused necrosis with a slightly enlarged left kidney. Based on the above findings, it was diagnosed as a case of gastric obstruction from nylon. The cause and pathogenesis of gastric impaction are discussed.
