Foreign body ingestion occurs when pets swallow objects not intended for consumption, such as toys, bones, or clothing, which can lead to blockages, perforations, and infection. Our after-hours clinic is dedicated to providing immediate, expert care.
What We Offer:
- Emergency Assessment: Advanced diagnostic tools, including X-rays and ultrasounds, to determine the location and nature of the foreign object.
- Induction of Vomiting: If the object was ingested recently, we may induce vomiting to remove it safely.
- Surgical Intervention: For objects causing severe distress or that cannot be removed non-surgically, our experienced surgeons will perform an emergency operation.
- Post-Treatment Monitoring: Thorough monitoring, supportive care, and guidance on preventing future incidents.
