This is Lucky the Shih Tzu, whose owner was slicing unripe mango π₯ for their own snacks. The owner accidentally dropped a piece while preparing, and Lucky immediately snatched the piece. Unluckily (hehe), though, it became lodged in his throat.....
Lucky's owners were fast to respond, but, unluckily (hehe), they were unable to remove the obstruction, and thus came to our facility for help.
With a bit of anesthesia and some forceps, the mango π₯ came loose.
As a pet owner, be wary whenever you prepare food. One chance they get, these furbabies may try to eat up those food ingredients, in which the scenario becomes more critical if the food stuff is actually toxic (e.g. raisins, onion, garlic, chocolate, etc.) or obstructive. We're not really pushing the blame to the owners π all of us, the attending vet, the receptionist, the veterinary assistants and technicians, and the clients, were all kinda laughing after the resolution of the incident, which is SO ABSURD! Absurd, we tell you.
Treat these dogs and cats as toddlers who'll nibble on anything they find curious or tasty, and keep all those away from their reach.
