We describe a case series of colonic foreign bodies in seven chinchillas. These animals had all shown complete lack of fecal output. Ultrasonography was performed in each case, revealing a hyperechoic foreign body with strong acoustic shadowing in the bowel in 6 of the 7 cases (86%). Foreign bodies were removed under exploratory laparotomy in all cases, with a perioperative survival rate of 71% (5/7). The foreign bodies were extracted from the distal ansa of the ascending colon (n=3), descending colon (n=3), or intermediate part of the ascending colon (n=1). This case series suggests chinchillas are affected by colonic obstructive foreign bodies and surgical intervention may be necessary to pursue better prognosis in cases where medical therapies prove ineffective.
