Plain-English summary
A 1.5-year-old golden retriever was brought to the vet because it was having trouble breathing, making strange sneezing sounds, and had a bad smell coming from its mouth. X-rays showed that the dog had a bone stuck in its throat area. The vet used a special camera and tools to remove the bone, and after the procedure, the dog's breathing problems and other symptoms went away completely.

A bone-density, nasopharyngeal foreign body was visualized on lateral radiographs of the skull. The foreign body was removed using a videoendoscope and a basket retrieval forcep. The dog's clinical signs resolved following foreign body removal.
