Abdominal radiography confirmed the presence of handle of the horse whip in the gastric area. Cranial midventral laparotomy was performed under general anaesthesia and the horse whip was removed by gentle traction by gastrotomy. Post- operatively animal was administered with antibiotics, analgesics and maintenance fluid therapy for seven days. The dog was maintained in partial parental nutrition for 3 days and gastrointestinal protectants for 5 days. On 9th day sutures were removed and animal recovered uneventfully.
