Abstract

After an exhaustive review of the international literature on the clinical presentation of canine lower-airway obstructions by foreign bodies, we present here a report on a series of cases involving a resolution by endoscopy. After comparison of the various clinical presentations described in the literature with our own series of case studies, we conclude that there exist two types of presentations, one acute and the other chronic, and that the two types respond to different treatment modalities.
