A concerned owner rushed their dog to the vet after she appeared to be choking.

On January 12, Mollie was brought into Alma Veterinary Hospital as an emergency case.

She had started to cough, drool and retch soon after eating a couple of chews.

Following initial assessment she was sedated and x-rays showed that she didn’t have an obstruction in her throat or trachea (airway) but in fact, Mollie had swallowed both circular chews whole and they were stuck one on top of each other in her oesophagus.

The vets sedated Mollie, an 11-year-old cross-breed and used an endoscope camera in her oesophagus to view the blockage before assessing how best to remove it.

A vet at Veterinary Hospital said: "We were able to successfully relieve the obstruction, by retrieving one chew and pushing the other into her stomach so it was then digested normally.

"Mollie was discharged later that afternoon with some medications to protect her oesophagus as the foreign bodies had caused some irritation.

The vet added: "Oesophageal foreign bodies are relatively uncommon but have potentially serious consequences.

"Most commonly we see bones obstruct where the oesophagus narrows.

"The main risks are damage or perforation to the oesophagus, and thankfully in Mollie’s case prompt assessment and management has resulted in her making a full recovery."

Mollie has been described as a "lovely dog" who is keen to please.
