A one and half year old Golden Retriever male dog weighing 28 kg was presented with the history of accidental swallowing of plastic shuttlecock on previous night. Haemato-biochemical parameters were normal and contrast abdominal radiography revealed foreign body in the stomach. Gastrotomy was done and retrieved plastic shuttlecock in the pyrolus region. Gastrotomy incision was closed with PGA 3-0 in double layer suture pattern. Post-operatively fluid therapy, antibiotics and analgesics were administered for five days. On 9th day sutures were removed and animal recovered uneventfully.
