The incidence of GIFBs in dogs parallels their size, with giant breeds having the highest incidence and toy or small breeds having the lowest incidence. I would speculate that larger breed dogs may be able to ingest items, such as cloth, socks, or toys, that smaller dogs are not able to swallow.<\/p>\n<p>It is important to note that GIFBs occurred in dogs and cats of every age and size; therefore, this diagnosis should be considered a possibility in any dog or cat presenting for vomiting. These data do not distinguish the location of the foreign bodies in the GI tract, but one previous study reported that 63% of canine GIFB obstructions occurred in the jejunum.<sup>1<\/sup> A thorough history and physical examination, including abdominal palpation, is indicated in animals presenting with vomiting to guide further diagnostic testing, which might include plain and possibly positive contrast abdominal radiographs or abdominal ultrasound.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The article outlines the prevalence of GI foreign bodies in dogs and cats
