Fluoroscopy followed by contrast-enhanced CT was performed to further characterize the lesion location, revealing that the foreign body had perforated the ventral aspect of the ventriculus wall and that the ventral extremity of the foreign body was surrounded by a mass, consistent with a granuloma.<\/jats:p>\n<jats:p><jats:bold>TREATMENT AND OUTCOME<\/jats:bold> A midline celiotomy was performed, and a large granuloma was identified ventral to the ventriculus, adherent to the dorsal aspect of the keel bone. The metallic foreign body (a nail) was removed, and the content of the granuloma was debrided. Amoxicillin\u2013clavulanic acid (150 mg\/kg [68.2 mg\/lb], PO, q 12 h for 10 days), meloxicam (1 mg\/kg [0.45 mg\/lb], PO, q 12 h for 5 days), and sucralfate (100 mg\/kg [45 mg\/lb], PO, q 8 h for 10 days) were prescribed. The pigeon made a successful recovery and was still doing well at a 1-year recheck evaluation.<\/jats:p>\n<jats:p><jats:bold>CLINICAL RELEVANCE<\/jats:bold> Although traumatic gastritis in pigeons has been reported, use of advanced diagnostic imaging for the pigeon of this report facilitated identification of the precise nature of the lesion and, therefore, surgical planning. The outcome for this pigeon suggested that successful resolution of traumatic gastritis may be possible in other affected birds with surgery.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2460\/javma.253.12.1610","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,12,5]],"date-time":"2018-12-05T14:52:58Z","timestamp":1544021578000},"page":"1610-1616","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Perforating
