BC Mobile Animal Endoscopy

I drive (or at times fly) to clinics all over BC to perform endoscopic procedures on various animals and birds.
(75)

The areas examined and treated include esophagus, stomach, small and large intestine, noses, lungs, and urinary bladder.

Can you imagine this foxtail up your nose for several weeks? Long live our amazing nose picking ability.

07/24/2024

This cat is a frequent flyer. I have removed grass from her nose in the past.

07/19/2024

Another day, another peach pit.

07/14/2024

Having removed many hundreds (and by now likely thousands) of hair ties, it takes a special cat to impress me. This gifted feline ingested close to 50 hair elastics as well as some other rubbery/plastic bits.

07/08/2024

This was an impressively sized oesophageal obstruction for a three kilo dog. Another interesting thing that the foreign body was only part bone and another part gristle. That is why it looks slender and elongated on rads (only the bone part shows well).

07/03/2024

This was a piece of bandage that the dog managed to get off his leg and ingest.

06/28/2024

The summer is here. And so are the fruit pits.

06/22/2024

It must have taken a lot of determination for a Frenchie pup to swallow a 20 cm long bully stick (dried bull p***s). As you can see on the radiograph, it did not fit into the stomach and was protruding into the oesophagus (in first comment).

06/17/2024

Here is another proof that summer is here: the barbecue season has began, and skewer ingestions along with it.

06/12/2024

I was asked to remove a ping pong ball that the dog supposedly swallowed. When I looked at the rads, the object was clearly visible, but did not look like a ball. I ended up removing a stone figurine of some kind. Still trying to think what it might be. Any guesses?

06/06/2024

Another old case - a glove freshly removed from the doodle’s stomach.

06/01/2024

A rib bone in a young pup. The cucumber was incidental and insignificant, but I decided to remove it for sh*ts and giggles.

05/26/2024

Cats and ribbon!

05/21/2024

My summer has officially begun: I removed my first ice cream stick of the season.

05/16/2024

A case from yesterday: small nose, large piece of grass that has been in the nose for several days.

05/11/2024

It can be quite infuriating when I am struggling to remove the foreign body while the said foreign body is smiling/smirking at me.

05/06/2024

A case from a few years back.

05/01/2024

Another victim of large dog small dog mismatch.

04/26/2024

History: small dog, acute onset of gagging/foaming/regurgitating after chewing on bully stick (dried bull p***s). A classical presentation for an oesophageal foreign body. The removal was uncomplicated.

04/21/2024

A mango pit (albeit a smaller one). Impressive for a Frenchie.

04/16/2024

This Shellie is 13 and suffering from orostate cancer. Nevertheless, he decided it was a good idea to ingest his lick mat. Total of 16 pieces removed.

04/11/2024

A young (3.5 month), but gifted Bully managed to swallow a good sized mango pit.

04/06/2024

Another old case. If you look at the radiograph, you can see the feet of the ball quite clearly.

04/02/2024

A case from many years ago. This dog was seized from the previous owners. The American Staffie was chained to the porch and had nothing better to do but to eat the porch or anything else he could find.

03/28/2024

A sharp and irregular rock about 5 cm/2 inches in greatest dimension. It is interesting how much larger it looks on the x-ray.

03/23/2024

Being a proud old geezer, I had no idea what were the things I removed from the stomach of a Pekingese. Apparently, you attach those to your crocks (shoes). I still have no idea why one would want to do that.

03/18/2024

This good looking fellow belongs to a staff member in one of the clinics in the valley. Apparently, he is known to get into all kinds of trouble. This time he swallowed a large brightly coloured cotton filled ball.

03/13/2024

One of the most peculiar endoscopic experiences is when I look into the stomach, and SOMETHING LOOKS BACK AT ME. In this case it was a blue cat toy with rather primitive eyes. Quite an eery feeling.

03/08/2024

Just a bit of a size mismatch: a four kg Pom and about 20 cm long piece of bully stick (euphemism for a bull p***s). As you can see on the rad, the stick is in the oesophagus, at least in part.

03/03/2024

I can personally attest to the fact that the advanced age is not a guarantee against questionable decisions. THIS CAT IS 21 YEARS OLD. The removal was quite straightforward and uncomplicated.

It must have taken a lot of determination for a Frenchie pup to swallow a 20 cm long bully stick (dried bull pen*s). As you can see on the radiograph, it did not fit into the stomach and was protruding into the oesophagus (in first comment).

Cats and ribbon!

Three sizeable pieces of unknown matter (possibly bone shards?) came out of the nose of this 10 kg mutt. I have no idea whatsoever as to how the foreign bodies ended up there, but the dog had been exhibiting nasal signs for over six months. Photos in first comment.

Ever wondered what a Coca Cola cardboard box looked like four days post ingestion? Here you go.

One elephant leg coming right up. The full collection and the victimised elephant in the first comment.

Yet another victim of large dog/little ball combination.

One god-knows-what coming right up!

One bouncy ball coming right up. The picture of the ball in the first comment.

This impressively sized toy was stolen from another dog at dog park and ingested in front of the stupefied owners. The guilty party - @thegolden_pebbles. The removal was surprisingly easy. Pictures in the first comment.

A couple of days ago. The X-ray is in the first comment.

This aggregation of grass has been in this young cat’s nose for several months.

Here is a great video of corn cob being removed. Corn cobs are very likely to cause obstruction if they move into the small intestine. Big thank you to KWAN MULTIMEDIA for the video.

One pink sock coming right up!

This bone was too large to fit in the stomach, so it was sitting part way in the oesophagus/par way in the stomach crossing the cardiac sphincter. The removal was straightforward as can be seen in the video.
