Abstract

Life Sciences & Biomedicine Science & Technology Veterinary Sciences
In this study, endoscopy was used to confirm a presumptive diagnosis of oesophageal foreign body in 8 camel calves and it helped retrieval of the foreign bodies by an alligator forceps. The main clinical signs observed were regurgitation of food and liquids immediately after feeding, hypersalivation and inappetance. All procedures were performed under sedation. Endoscopic removal of the oesophageal foreign bodies using alligator forceps was found safe and effective.
