Subcutaneous abscesses or granulomas in the lower extremities of dogs commonly occursecondary to the penetration and migration of vegetal foreign bodies (FBs). The aim of thisstudy was to describe the clinical presentation and ultrasonographic appearance of intact grassawn FBs in the lower extremities of dogs, and their ultrasound-guided retrieval with particularemphasis on the feasibility, effectiveness and prognosis associated with this technique. In thisretrospective study, 22 FBs were identified ultrasonographically in 19 dogs. The procedureresulted in the successful retrieval of the FB in 100% of dogs, and the clinical signs resolved in90% (n=17) in less than ten days. No complications or recurrence were encountered. This studyshows that ultrasonographic examination should be the first-choice modality when a vegetal FBis suspected within the distal extremity, as it allows both identification and removal of the FBwith a minimally invasive procedure, with short- and long-term effectiveness and good prognosis.
