Abstract: A two-year-old Nondescriptive dog was presented to the Small Animal Referral unit Veterinary Clinical Complex Namakkal with a history of intermittent vomiting, hyporexia and lethargy in dog. Lateral radiography of the thorax showed a Radioopaque foreign body in the caudal esophagus. Oesophagoscopy revealed obstruction of the caudal esophagus by a bone and bone was retrieved by using a foreign body retrieval snare. An uneventful recovery was noticed after retrieval of a foreign body along with the supportive therapy for esophagitis.
