Foreign Body Removal Surgery for Pets in Teaneck, NJ
Pets are curious by nature, and swallowed objects — toys, socks, bones, string, and more — can become lodged in the stomach or intestines, leading to a dangerous obstruction. At Bergen Veterinary Hospital, our surgical team is experienced in safely removing foreign bodies to relieve the blockage and protect your pet's digestive health.
Signs of a Foreign Body Obstruction
Vomiting, loss of appetite, lethargy, abdominal pain, or straining without producing stool can all signal an obstruction. This is a true emergency — the sooner it's treated, the better the outcome for your pet. Our team will confirm the diagnosis with imaging, discuss the safest course of action with you, and perform surgery when needed, followed by close monitoring during recovery.
If you suspect your pet has swallowed something they shouldn't have, call us right away at (201) 837-3470.
