  • Title: [Endoscopic removal of foreign bodies from cats or dogs].
    Author: den Hertog E.
    Journal: Tijdschr Diergeneeskd; ; 128(14-15):434-9. PubMed ID: 12920922.
    Abstract:
    Foreign bodies in the airways or intestines of dogs or cats are a common problem in companion animal practice. Improved endoscopic techniques, together with their greater availability, mean that it is often possible to remove the foreign body endoscopically, making surgery unnecessary. This article describes 53 cats and dogs in which a foreign body was detected and, where possible, removed. Results are compared with those in the literature. Practical guidelines for foreign body removal in specific cases are described, focusing on therapy and prognosis.
