Emergency Fish Hook Removal!🎣
Byron came to Southwest Veterinary Urgent Care after swallowing a fishhook. X-rays confirmed the hook was lodged high in the back of his mouth/throat, with the barb embedded in the soft palate behind the larynx.
After a brief sedation, Dr. Wibel, Marisa, and our amazing team carefully removed the fishhook using a laryngoscope—preventing it from causing more serious injury. 💙
Another great example of teamwork and skilled care when pets need it most. 🐾🎣
