==Description==
Although many foreign objects are regurgitated from or transported through the gastrointestinal tract, those that are too large or have sharp points may remain lodged in the oesophagus and cause mechanical obstructions. Foreign bodies that become lodged in the oesophagus often have sharp points and include bones, fish hooks, needles, sticks and toys. The most common foreign bodies found in dogs are bones and bone fragments, particularly pieces of lamb vertebrae. In cats, toys are the most common objects to become lodged.
