At Pets R Us Animal Hospital in Commerce City, CO, we perform foreign body removal surgery to treat pets that have swallowed objects that can’t pass naturally. Ingesting foreign items can lead to dangerous blockages in the stomach or intestines, requiring urgent surgical care.
Commonly ingested items include toys, bones, socks, string, and other household objects. Signs your pet may have a blockage include vomiting, lack of appetite, abdominal pain, lethargy, and straining or inability to defecate. If you notice these symptoms, immediate veterinary attention is critical.
Our team uses diagnostic imaging like X-rays and ultrasounds to locate the obstruction. If surgery is needed, we perform the procedure in our modern surgical suite with advanced anesthesia and monitoring to ensure your pet’s safety and comfort during and after the operation.
Timely intervention can prevent serious complications such as intestinal damage or rupture. If you suspect your pet has ingested a foreign object, don’t wait—contact Pets R Us Animal Hospital in Commerce City today. Our experienced team is ready to provide fast, effective surgical care.
