Abstract |
A stone, which had been accidentally swallowed by a ratsnake (Elaphe obsoleta rossaleni) and which had been present in the stomach for as long as four days, was surgically removed by coeliotomy and gastrotomy. Anaesthesia was produced by Metomidate ( Hypnodil) in a doses of 10 mg/kg of body weight. The wall of the stomach was sutured by continuous Lembert sutures. The skin and muscles were closed with single sutures. Recovery was successful and complete.
