Abstract

Partial tracheal obstruction caused by foreign bodies is a rare afliction in canines which can lead to tracheitis, bronchitis or pneumonia. The main clinical indications are dyspnea, coughing and cyanosis, which may lead to the death of the animal. One female Rottweiler dog of one year and seven months of age was treated at the Veterinary Hospital of the University of Cuiabá (UNIC/MT) for coughing and breathing difficulty. The radiology exam showed an opaque, circular object located in the cranial cervical trachea. The animal was therefore submitted to a surgical procedure for the removal of the foreign body which was subsequently identified as a child’s marble. The results were satisfactory, confirmed by the lack of respiratory difficulty signs after the surgical procedure.

KEY WORDS: Canine, foreign body, trachea.
