Super Bowl Sunday sometimes accidents happen. Our patient Roxy managed to ingest a delicious piece of steak that happened to be on a 5 inch bamboo skewer. Roxy was so excited for this delicious treat that she swallowed the steak and skewer down in one bite. Our wonderful staff at Animal Urgent Care of South OC was able to safely retrieve the skewer using our endoscope. Roxy we all hope you are back at home doing well.
