- Abstract
Foreign bodies are common in pets and may cause vague clinical signs. One of the locations a foreign body can be found is the bronchial region. The foreign body itself, but also secondary inflammation and infection can lead to severe tissue reactions. Bronchoscopy is a useful diag- nostic imaging tool, due to its diagnostic ability and therapeutic possibilities to directly remove foreign bodies. In the present case, a small Münsterländer was presented with a one-week exist- ing productive cough. The dog inhaled a wheat spike into the airways, subsequently causing the development of secondary inflammation and infection. Through bronchoscopy, the foreign body was located in the left mainstem bronchus and removed successfully with a special forceps.
