Daisy’s Care
Daisy was witnessed swallowing a large bone by the owner. She immediately started retching and seemed distressed. A radiograph was obtained and confirmed the presence of an oesophageal foreign body extending into the stomach.
Under anesthesia, upper gastrointestinal endoscopy was performed. A large foreign body was identified in the food pipe. Large forceps were used to remove the foreign body (a rib) using endoscopic guidance.
Daisy made a full recovery and was discharged later the same day.
