Sonopath Forum

Bentley presented for concerns about a possible gastrointestinal foreign body.  Got into the trash on Monday night.  Ingested mostly pieces of plastic tampon applicators and a plastic hair band.  He vomited some bile on Tuesday about 3 times.  Was still interested in eating until yesterday afternoon – last ate about 3pm.  Had a slightly soft bowel movement this morning, but has been more lethargic and has been getting into prayer position occasionally.  Blood work is pending.  X-Rays looked unremarkable to me other than some increased opacity in the cecum.

If anything maybe some tissue

If anything maybe some tissue paper density but I would wait on this one and rescan in 24 hours after fluids and npo. No fluid obstruction behind it nor any periserosal inflammation so sonographically stable.
