##### Leveraging Multiple Specialties on Complex Cases

When facing a challenging gastrointestinal case, the power of collaboration cannot be overstated. In this recent case, a 1-year and 7-month-old spayed female Mini Dachshund presented at an emergency clinic with significant gastric distention, regurgitation, and concerns about a possible gastrointestinal obstruction.

The patient had undergone an initial ultrasound exam the previous day, which revealed an ileal foreign body prompting a STAT multi-modality (ultrasound and radiograph) review by the SVS Imaging team. By leveraging the expertise of both a SVS Imaging radiologist and internist, we were able to provide a detailed and actionable care plan.
