The other day, we scoped a dog with:
1) a golf ball
2) a large piece of ruminant hoof
in his stomach. Let me tell you, a slippery golf ball is really hard to grab.
After we tried the little endoscopy net and grabbers, we then moved on to using a condom (Magnum, since apparently they're the largest. Who knew? Not me.), a plastic lunch baggie, and then...
(drumroll please)
...a sterile ultrasound probe cover (read: GIANT condom)! And it worked!
The medicine resident delicately scooped the golf ball into the giant condom and pulled it up the esophagus and out the dog's mouth. It was awesome.
