Abstract
A 2-year-old female miniature dachshund had an 8-month-history of coughing and abnormally lifting her right forelimb. The owner reported that the bitch had eaten grilled chicken with bamboo skewers and had vomited them up before the onset of clinical signs. We therefore suspected ingestion of a skewer. Computed tomography (CT) revealed something like a bamboo skewer extending from the right lung to the right axillary region. Once the object had been removed by means of an intercostal approach, clinical signs disappeared.
