Plain-English summary
A dog was found to have a stone lodged in the area where the trachea splits into the bronchi, which can cause serious breathing problems. The veterinarian diagnosed the issue using X-rays and successfully removed the stone with an endoscope, a special tool that allows for minimally invasive surgery. After the procedure, the dog was able to breathe normally again and showed signs of recovery.
