Case of the Month - January 2006

What's your diagnosis?

On December 26, 2005, a little West Highland White Terrier came in to our hospital because of vomiting.  As visible on the x-rays this dog had eaten a coin.  Dr. Isherwood was called on to perform emergency foreign body endoscopy.  Because the location was  determined via x-ray, Dr. Isherwood was able to easily locate and remove the coin.  This pet went home the following day, and is currently doing fine.
