A Barsoi dog experienced neurological issues like seizures and coma due to aluminum (Al) intoxication from a gastric foreign body. Surgical removal of the foreign body and subsequent decrease in blood aluminum levels led to complete clinical recovery.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Neurology
  • Toxicology
  • Internal Medicine

Background:

  • Neurological disorders in dogs can have diverse etiologies.
  • Foreign body ingestion is a common issue in canines, potentially leading to systemic complications.

Observation:

  • A two-year-old Barsoi presented with a two-week history of exercise-induced muscle twitching and convulsions.
  • The condition progressed to tetraparesis and coma, indicating severe neurological compromise.

Findings:

  • A gastric foreign body composed of aluminum was identified.
  • Surgical removal of the foreign body resulted in resolution of clinical signs.
  • Serum aluminum levels were significantly elevated and normalized post-operatively, correlating with clinical recovery.

Implications:

  • This case highlights aluminum intoxication as a potential cause of severe neurological dysfunction in dogs.
  • Gastric foreign bodies containing metals should be considered in cases of unexplained neurological deficits.
  • Prompt diagnosis and surgical intervention are crucial for successful outcomes in toxic foreign body ingestions.
