The results? Her stomach was filled with buttons! She was quickly referred to our Thonglor Pet Hospital, Rama 9 branch for an emergency endoscopy to remove the foreign objects. Before the procedure, our team performed:

All procedures were done quickly and safely In the end, our vets were able to remove all 24 buttons from her stomach! Ung-Yong recovered very well after the endoscopy and is now back home, safe and sound.

A gentle reminder to all pet parents:When pets ingest foreign objects like buttons, coins, or small toys, it can lead to intestinal blockages, inflammation, or even toxic reactions. In some cases, surgery may be required, or worse, it could be life-threatening. The best prevention is careful supervision—keep small items out of reach to protect your furry family members.
