Five male crossbred dogs successfully underwent surgical placement of button enterostomy tubes to evaluate the placement technique, maintenance and complications of these tubes. Surgical placement was quick, technically straightforward and similar to techniques used for other feeding tubes. None of the dogs experienced life-threatening complications during the 10 month follow-up period. One device required replacement as it was removed by the dog before a permanent fistula had formed. Open tubes due to loose safety plugs and focal cellulitis surrounding the exit sites of these tubes were noted in all dogs. The button tube may be a feasible option for long-term nutritional support in patients with pancreatic, hepatobiliary or gastrointestinal conditions.
