Safe Removal of Foreign Objects
Pets are naturally curious and often explore their surroundings by chewing, licking, and swallowing objects. Sometimes, this behavior can lead to them ingesting or inhaling foreign objects, which can cause serious health issues. At Animal Mansion Veterinary Hospital, we offer professional foreign body removal services to safely and effectively remove any object your pet has ingested or inhaled that could be causing harm.
What is Foreign Body Removal?
Foreign body removal is a surgical or non-surgical procedure to extract an object that has become lodged in your pet’s digestive or respiratory system. These foreign objects can range from small items like toys, bones, and socks to larger objects like sticks or plastic items. Depending on where the object is located and the severity of the situation, the removal method will vary.
