Abstract: A two-year-old male Persian cat presented with a history of ingesting an eraser, along with symptoms of anorexia, lethargy, and constipation persisting for five days. Upon clinical examination, the cat exhibited depression, dehydration, and severe abdominal pain, with a tense abdomen upon palpation. Complete blood count (CBC) and routine serum biochemical analysis yielded results within normal ranges. Radiographic examination revealed the presence of a radiopaque structure in the intestine, indicating an intestinal foreign body. Following general anesthesia, a ventral midline celiotomy was performed, revealing the foreign body lodged in the jejunum region. The foreign body was successfully removed, and the cat experienced an uneventful recovery.
