10 month old kitten, may have gotten into easter basket and eaten some of the plastic straw. Not interested in eating, lethargic and straining to defecate over last 12+ hours. Rectal discharge is clear, mucoid fluid. Not vomiting. Has been dewormed and vaccinated. Radiologist was worried about foreign material in stomach on first VD, but not as concerned w/ second. I scanned the stomach shortly after second set of rads.

I recently sent you a series very similar in a dog, so am thinking you won’t be too impressed with the gas shadowing, maybe scant amount of foreign material present that is not causing a problem currently?

Nice gastric images slight
Nice gastric images slight physiologic fluid, no shadowing or obstruction. The first video shows some minor echogenic linear matter but just floating can be anything but not an issue. No obstruction or surgical case for sure fromt he gastric images. I would image the pancreas (positions 8, 14 and 15) and colon from the CUJ to the deep pelvic inlet (position 3 on sdep protocol http://sonopath.com/products). Maybe passing something. Or go old school with barium enema:) Stomach not the issue at the moment.
