Abstract

A one-month-old domestic chick (Gallus gallus domesticus) presented to the hospital with symptom of anorexia for the past one day was diagnosed to have a crop foreign body and decided for surgical correction. Under local analgesia, the crop was opened and the foreign body was removed. The ingluviotomy wound was closed by Cushing’s suture with size 3-0 Polyglactin 910 and skin wound by simple interrupted sutures using size 2-0 braided silk. The foreign body removed was a plastic tube of 8 cm length. Postoperatively, the bird was given antibiotics for three days. Regular dressing of the wound was done till the ninth postoperative day. Uneventful recovery was noticed with no postoperative complications.
