I didn't know which section to put this in, so it's here.

Bulldog comes in the other day...unsure of the signalment (age/sex/spayed or neutered/breed) I was off.

Vomiting for 36 hours...constantly. The dog cannot keep any food or water down. Was not urinating or deficating.

Here's the XRay! Now...tell me.

1.) What did this dog eat?

2.) (BONUS) What else is wrong with this XRay?

3.) (FOLLOW UP BONUS) What is this condition called?

The last two questions I only expect veterinary professionals to be able to answer. Don't feel bad if you don't see anything at all! Radiographs are hard to evaluate.

Good luck!
 
I love this game.....and I'm drawing a near blank.

I'll guess that there's something metal (the triangular shape just right of center) blocking the passage between the stomach and the intestinal tract....keyring maybe?

Looks like it may have gas too...
 
It looks like a belt! The buckle is just inside the rib cage, and the rest of the belt seems to be threaded through the small intestine.
 
Nope...

Okay...here's a clue...there are children (little girl and little boy) in the house...
 
Drumroll please! The winner is.....

Belle from Beauty and the Beast plastic toy doll? Could be Cinderella too.

It is indeed a cinderella plastic toy dolly. Kyle nailed it!
After showing the xray to the owner, a mother of two, mom did a facepalm and told us that one of her daughters had been complaining about a toy that disappeared, but she paid little attention...Well, $1500 later, i'm sure she she'll pay attention from now on!

Thanks for guessing everyone...i'll post more of these if you guys liked it.
 
what about whats wrong with the x-ray? looks like the info is missing to me, but idk.
