Kolkata Lab Successfully Removes Bike Keys From Labrador's Stomach Via Endoscopy
Imagine a puppy named Canoy who really likes to chew on things.
One day, he accidentally swallowed his owner's bike keys!
His family was very worried.
They tried giving him special food to make him throw up, but it didn't work.
A doctor took a picture inside his tummy and saw the keys.
The doctors could either cut his tummy open, which would be a big surgery, or use a special tiny camera with tools, called an endoscope.
The family chose the camera to avoid a big operation.
The doctors carefully put the camera down Canoy's throat, found the keys, and gently pulled them out through his mouth.
It was much easier and less painful for Canoy this way!
Now, everyone is relieved, and Canoy is happy and healthy again, though his family is watching his chewing habits more closely.
A 2-year-old Labrador named Canoy swallowed bike keys in Singur.
After initial attempts to make the dog vomit failed, an ultrasonography confirmed the keys were in his stomach.
Owners opted for a non-invasive endoscopic foreign body removal over general surgery.
The procedure was successfully performed at a pathology laboratory in South Kolkata.
The bike keys were removed within 10 minutes using advanced technological instruments after sedating the dog.
