00:00Oh, that's so cool.
00:05It's brownish.
00:07What is this? How did it get in there?
00:09The foreign body doesn't want to come out.
00:12Pulled onto the cat.
00:15It broke.
00:17Lost it.
00:19My dad's struggling.
00:21There it is.
00:24Okay, coming up.
00:27I'm Eugene Grodeski.
00:33Over the years, I have removed many weird and wonderful foreign bodies out of animals.
00:38Going in.
00:39My dad, he's like the most disgusting magician doing a trick.
00:43Dr. Grodeski is a legend.
00:45Going in.
00:46Bingo.
00:47I have removed an intact light bulb, a two-carat diamond ring, a garden hose from a lion.
00:53Underwear.
00:54Yuck.
00:57Hey, buddy.
00:58How you doing?
00:59At Pascal's vet, the day has taken an unexpected turn.
01:12There.
01:13We had Pascal come in for just a minor mass removal.
01:29His owner wanted to do an x-ray.
01:33The x-ray showed a pretty promising foreign body.
01:38The clinic has called Dr. G to seek and recover whatever Pascal may have scarved.
01:45Hello.
01:46Hey, guys.
01:47All right.
01:48We'll see how it goes.
01:50Thank you so much.
01:53Mm-hmm.
01:54Dr. G's assistant, his son Ben, gets up to speed.
01:59What's this dog's name?
02:00This is Pascal.
02:01Pascal.
02:02Yeah.
02:03He's 13.
02:04He's 13.
02:05Older patients are at higher risk for complications.
02:09We want to make sure that we are being safe.
02:12If you've got a small towel under his neck.
02:20Typically, it's youngsters that get into things, but there also is a second pick among older
02:25dogs.
02:26Late in life thrill seekers.
02:28Yeah.
02:29It is not uncommon for me to see an older dog that begins to eat things that he or she
02:35is not supposed to.
02:37Likely explanation is senility.
02:39All right.
02:40Good to go?
02:41Yeah.
02:42Cool.
02:43Okay.
02:44Going in through the esophagus.
02:49And ta-da.
03:02There's something that does not belong in there.
03:04What does it look like to you?
03:06Fabric.
03:07The material certainly looks dark, although it is challenging to judge the color when
03:14it has been sitting in the stomach for a while.
03:16All right.
03:17Let's see what we can do with it.
03:19I'm going to use a hexagonal snare.
03:23It gives you the strongest pull for fabriky type things.
03:28And we'll see how that works for us.
03:33Okay.
03:34Our body coming right up.
03:38Ah!
03:39Wow.
03:40Okay.
03:43The first thing that comes out is some sort of cloth like thing.
03:48And it is like saturated with stomach goo.
03:51It is difficult to distinguish.
03:55But my suspicion is that it is a sock because it's a medium-sized fabric object.
04:03Okay.
04:04Okay.
04:05Let's see if we have more.
04:06Okay.
04:07Let's see if we have more.
04:16Okay.
04:17We have several objects.
04:18This is getting interesting.
04:19Okay.
04:20Okay.
04:21Coming up.
04:22And this looks like a sock as well.
04:23Ah!
04:24Okay.
04:25There definitely is more foreign material in there.
04:27Yeah.
04:28That one looks different.
04:29That looks like a sock.
04:30It's a sock.
04:31Okay.
04:32There is more.
04:33Coming up.
04:34Coming up.
04:35Okay.
04:36Okay.
04:37There is definitely more foreign material in there.
04:40Yeah.
04:41That one looks different.
04:42That looks like a sock.
04:43It's a sock.
04:44Okay.
04:45There is more.
04:46Coming up.
04:47Coming up.
04:48Ah!
04:49Okay.
04:50Let's see if that's all or if we have more.
05:01Okay.
05:04Okay.
05:05Okay.
05:06Let's see if that's all or if we have more.
05:11Oh yeah.
05:12Okay.
05:16There is an object left in the stomach.
05:19It appears that that might be the last one.
05:22Sitting in the pyloric canal.
05:26Potentially it can be more of an issue.
05:30The final fabric item is stuck in the pylorus,
05:35a narrow area at the exit of Pascal's stomach.
05:44Okay.
05:46We can get it out.
05:55Of course, the last one is the most challenging one.
06:00The last one is the most challenging one.
06:08The last one is the most challenging one.
06:1213-year-old Pascal's final foreign body refuses to come easily.
06:27We never want to keep the patient in anesthesia for longer than necessary, especially older dogs.
06:37I will try to be as quick as I can.
06:42That can be challenging.
06:43Pascal is really a member of the family.
06:55He's so sweet.
06:56He loves the kids.
06:59Considering his advanced age, I'm hopeful that it will turn out okay.
07:03Okay, let's see.
07:10It's just getting the tip into the snare.
07:14We can get it out.
07:20Sock.
07:27Whoa!
07:28Sock.
07:29I have removed enough socks to supply a small boutique store.
07:36Amazing.
07:36Yeah.
07:37This is a full wardrobe of socks.
07:38Maybe the owners should consider wearing sandals.
07:39Yeah.
07:40It took about 10 minutes for Dr. G to relieve Pascal of five fabric objects.
07:55Small intestine looks happy.
07:57I think we are good to go.
08:00Okay.
08:01A closer look at the old-timers' bizarre snacks show they are not quite what they seemed.
08:09We unraveled them all and they became actually gloves, not socks.
08:19Quite the collection.
08:20I can't imagine anyone ever wearing those gloves again.
08:24No.
08:27This is a great thing for Pascal.
08:30Hopefully he doesn't do it again.
08:32Okay, buddy.
08:34It has been a success.
08:36I was able to minimize the anesthetic time in a senior patient.
08:41All right.
08:42Thank you very much.
08:43Bye-bye.
08:44Have a great rest of your day.
08:45Thanks, you too.
08:46Bye.
08:47The takeaway is keep an eye on your gloves.
08:49Same with, like, dirty socks or whatever.
08:52All right.
08:53Onward ho.
08:55Especially if you get a golden age pooch who's living large.
08:59I'm so relieved.
09:03I certainly didn't expect the amount of gloves that were discovered in his stomach, but there
09:22was a missing mitt the day prior.
09:26There you go.
09:27There you go.
09:28Now that we know he's a chronic glove eater, we'll be tucking those away.
09:32Oh, well.
09:45Binky, she puked up a little bit of something that's stuck in there.
09:50Evidence of a possible foreign body has Binky's owner stressed.
09:55We thought, oh, this is serious.
09:59It's definitely pretty, pretty rough.
10:05Yes.
10:06He's on his way.
10:07Okay.
10:08Thanks.
10:09Bye.
10:10It's a cat with a suspected foreign body.
10:13Hair ties are the most common object cats in chests.
10:17I often see ribbon, shoelaces occasionally.
10:21So let's see what we can find in the cat.
10:25Spin the baby.
10:31We hope that the master of endoscopy, Dr. Eugene, can work his magic for Binky.
10:38Thank you for your patience.
10:43Good afternoon.
10:44Hey, how's it going?
10:46I've been in the field 30 years.
10:48It always puts a smile on my face when I see Eugene walk in with his Birkenstocks on.
10:53I choose my footwear wisely.
10:56I wear them 365 days a year.
11:03On Binky's x-rays are curvilinear opacities.
11:07A $10 word for squiggly, dense lines within the stomach.
11:13All right, little lady.
11:16That is what we are going to go after.
11:19Okay, going into the esophagus.
11:26Evidence of a possible foreign body has Binky's owner stressed.
11:46And here is our foreign material.
11:59What does it look like to you?
12:01Uh, it's brownish.
12:05I don't know what they are yet.
12:07I'm hoping that whatever this thing is, that it comes out and that Binky feels better.
12:12I'm going to start with large Radygator forceps.
12:17Radygator forceps have serrated jaws.
12:21They are unlikely to let go if I encounter resistance.
12:26Okay.
12:32I poke and try to see how aggregated the mass of the material is.
12:38Okay.
12:42Pull down to the cap so it'll drag you around the table.
12:46Then I give it a first shot.
12:53Ah, it broke.
12:55Ah.
12:57There is a big aggregation.
13:01You can see the rubber in there.
13:03What is this?
13:04How did it get in there?
13:05This is going to take some detective work.
13:08I will just try to get a hold of a different park.
13:11Dr. G believes he's dealing with one stringy item that's tangled.
13:18He attempts to unravel it and bring it up all at once.
13:21At this point of time, the foreign body doesn't want to come out.
13:31It is trial and error.
13:33I try from a different angle.
13:38Okay.
13:40Something like this.
13:47All right.
13:48Okay.
13:49Wow.
13:50Holy.
13:51Whoa.
13:52That's long.
13:56It's wet.
13:57It looks gross.
13:59It smells gross.
14:00It's like a rope or string or something.
14:06Wow.
14:08That's a hair band.
14:09That's not a hair elastic.
14:11I certainly don't believe this would be a typical hair elastic.
14:16But as you can see, I'm not on authority on hair elastics.
14:22Oh, yeah.
14:23There definitely is more.
14:25Na-na-na-na-na-na.
14:27It looks like a large band.
14:40Oh.
14:41Pinky is a funny little cat.
14:45I had her since she was a little baby, you know, holding her little paws.
15:00Apparently, when we're not looking, she gives up to mischievous acts.
15:04All I can hope is that it goes well.
15:06Fingers crossed.
15:07Yeah.
15:10Okay.
15:11It looks like I managed to move the aggregation.
15:24Ah.
15:25Lost it.
15:26Oh.
15:27Oh.
15:28Yeah.
15:30Dr. G continues trying to bring the foreign body up.
15:34But it keeps breaking into pieces.
15:37Try and keep going.
15:47You can feel it every time it, like, rips apart.
15:49Mm-hmm.
15:50Yeah.
15:51Yeah.
15:52My dad's struggling.
15:53Mm.
15:54Ah.
15:55Ah.
15:56Ah.
15:57Ah.
15:58Ah.
15:59Ah.
16:00As the attempts and fails continue, I can see that he's starting to sweat.
16:03Yeah.
16:04No.
16:05That's not it.
16:06Ah.
16:07Ah.
16:08Ah.
16:09Ah.
16:10Ah.
16:11Ah.
16:12Ah.
16:13Ah.
16:14Ah.
16:15Ah.
16:16Ah.
16:17Ah.
16:19Yep.
16:20He alise it.
16:22It seems like he's able to get a better grip from a different angle.
16:27All right.
16:28One aggregation coming up.
16:30Oh!
16:32Ooh.
16:33Yeah.
16:34Dr. G. Ritz-Binke of an unidentified off-menu item.
16:58If you have an animal that is intent on eating something,
17:02chances are they will eat it.
17:06All right, the stomach is empty.
17:10It was a relief when he finally said, we've got it all.
17:14OK, and out and done.
17:17Good job.
17:18Perfect collection.
17:19Wow, that's insane, hey?
17:21Yeah.
17:24My dad is able to pull this thing out,
17:26but we still have no idea what it is.
17:28I'm wondering what she got into.
17:30I'm getting gloves.
17:31I want to look.
17:32How about some of the gloves?
17:34It's absolutely a case to remember.
17:38Those could almost be like the curly shoelaces you get for kids.
17:43Yeah.
17:43No, it's a ribbon.
17:44It's kind of elastic-y, kind of rope-y.
17:48Binky has some secrets.
17:50What were you thinking, Binky?
17:52Binky's a legend for this one.
17:56There is still a question remaining as to what Binky congested.
18:00That question probably is best answered by the owner.
18:04Hey, I'm Ben.
18:06She's doing really well.
18:07Oh, no.
18:08I wanted to show you.
18:10This was the contents that was making Binky sick.
18:13This is-
18:14Jesus.
18:15Yeah, it came out kind of like a magician's trick out of her mouth.
18:18It just looked like a really moldy, bad spaghetti.
18:24But then-
18:25I do remember now that I see this.
18:29The owner puts the pieces together.
18:32Uh, I was like half asleep.
18:34Uh-huh.
18:34And in the corner of my eye, I just see-
18:36I see her just munching at the blinds.
18:39Oh, that's the mystery.
18:42Binky ate blind cords.
18:44I-I grabbed her off as soon as I could, but I guess it was-
18:48I guess it didn't even wait.
18:51Hide loose strings.
18:53Hide loose dangly items that I guess they might find appetizing.
18:57And do you think she's learned her lesson?
18:59After all this, I hope so.
19:00You never know.
19:01You might have a little mini heart attack like me.
19:05All right, guys.
19:07Thank you for being on the ball.
19:09As per usual, uh, you have a good day and we'll see you next time.
19:12Until next time.
19:13Cheers.
19:14Thank you so much.
19:15Thanks again.
19:16Good job, you guys.
19:17Take care.
19:18Dr. Grodeski, he's a legend around here.
19:20We did have a seminar with him while I was at school.
19:23We learned a lot about his equipment and what he does with it.
19:26This is a golf ball that decided to get stuck in the esophagus.
19:30Finally get to being on this side of it.
19:32That's really awesome and really cool to do.
19:37Who's in here?
19:40Who's that?
19:41There you go.
19:42Oh my gosh.
19:43She's had a bit of a taste.
19:44Oh, there we go.
19:45She did really well, actually.
19:46You know, you get to go home.
19:47Yeah.
19:48Okay.
19:49Have a good one, okay?
19:51You too.
19:52I'm feeling relieved.
19:53That she's fine.
19:54That she's healthy.
19:55And everything should be alright.
19:56All right.
19:57That went pretty great.
19:58I talked to the owner.
19:59It turns out that that was a cord from Venetian Blinds.
20:02That Binky had eaten.
20:03It certainly wouldn't be the first Venetian Blinds cord that I had used to be the first
20:06Venetian Blinds.
20:07That's a good one.
20:08You're a good one, okay?
20:10Me too.
20:11I'm feeling relieved.
20:12That she's fine.
20:13That she's healthy.
20:14And everything should be alright.
20:15All right.
20:16That went pretty great.
20:18all right that went pretty great i talked to the owner it turns out that that was a cord from
20:28venetian blinds that binky had eaten it certainly wouldn't be the first venetian blind cord that
20:34i've seen but not nearly as common as uh hair elastics yeah let's hope that's was my last
20:41meeting with binky yeah see you never bud stay out of trouble
