Is endoscopy the right answer?
-Non-invasive
– Home and eating within 4 hours of procedure
– No healing, No pain, No risk of infection, No risk of strictures, No need for antibiotics
– Try to act as if it is your body and then choose
-Faster
– Usually (depends on procedure)
– Consider hospital time and healing time in your calculation

Yes, it is – often!
– Less expensive vs. surgery
– Visualize structures not seen in surgery
– Mucosa, esophagus, underlying causes
– Not sure? Call me 24/7.

With cats, what they usually do is they eat the grass and then they vomit up into the nasopharynx. Then we have to go over the soft palate over the back of the nose to pull out that grass or whatever foreign bodies they vomited up into nasopharynx.

Myths
– “It is too big to scope out”
– If it went down, it should come up.
– String foreign body
– As long as I can get near the end of
string, I can get it out.
– Sharp things – glass, razor blades, needles, etc...
– Not a problem. Foreign body hood protector and removing in correct position

– “Once it is in the intestines/jejunum, it needs surgery”
– Duodenum is not a problem, can reach mid jejunum in a cat or small dog. (150 cm scope)
– Too Many/too much
– Requires patience but remember no
recovery time.
– “It has been in there too long!”
– Only a problem if necrosis or perforation

Guarantees
The most common reason I hear for not performing endoscopy is that the owner wants a guarantee we will get the answer or remove the foreign body.

We cannot guarantee anything in medicine but we can guarantee that endoscopy is safer and in the right hands, a highly successful option.

Should I wait until tomorrow?
- While some foreign bodies will move on and save the owner the expense of endoscopy, I never like to sleep on a gastric foreign body because they might become an intestinal foreign body and can cause a surprising amount of damage in a short time.
- Consider if there might be a toxin in the foreign body – eg zinc in coins or any metallic foreign body

p.80
p.81

p.81

Waiting...
- Never wait – even hours on an esophageal foreign body. The damage can be extensive quickly leading to perforation or future strictures.
- Bones can cause ulcers and perforations quickly.
- Metallic foreign bodies.
