This report describes two cases of high-pressure hose ingestion in African lions (\n                    <jats:italic>Panthera leo<\/jats:italic>\n                    ) and explores a possible association with a toxic syndrome. Two African lions, a three-year-old male (Case 1) and a ten-year-old female (Case 2), housed in the same enclosure, exhibited neurological signs suggestive of toxic syndrome. The male (Case 1) initially presented with ataxia, loss of pelvic limb tone and sialorrhea, showing only a mild response to clinical treatment. Diagnostic imaging (radiography) revealed a radiopaque object consistent with a gastric foreign body, and chewed fragments of a high-pressure hose were identified upon inspection of the enclosure. Four fragments were removed via endoscopy. One week later, the female (Case 2) developed similar neurological signs, including head tilt, muscle tremors and auricular asymmetry. Laboratory findings revealed leukocytosis with neutrophilia and radiographic evidence of a gastric foreign body. Three hose fragments were endoscopically removed. Both animals made a full recovery within approximately one month. These cases suggest the importance of thoroughly inspecting items used as environmental enrichment, particularly those made of potentially toxic or poorly digestible material, such as high-pressure rubber.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1556\/004.2026.01294","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,8]],"date-time":"2026-09-08T11:01:16Z","timestamp":1788865276000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1556\/policypage.crossmark.crossref.2","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Ingestion of high-pressure hose fragments and their possible association with a suspected toxic syndrome in two African lions (Panthera leo)"],"prefix":"10.1556","author":[{"given":"Jo\u00e3o","family":"Vitor de Campos Roeder","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Staples Animal Hospital, 377 Commissioners Rd W, London, Ontario, N6J 1Y4, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gustavo Willian","family":"Pandolfo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laborat\u00f3rio de Patologia Animal (LAPA), Centro de Ci\u00eancias Agroveterin\u00e1rias (CAV), Universidade do Estado de Santa Catarina (UDESC), Av.
