为什么狗和猫总是吞下它们不该吞的东西?
宠物吞下无法消化的东西是意外常见的——无论是撕扯袜子的狗,还是吞下线的猫。通常是因为无聊、剩余的狩猎本能或简单的误判。
What starts as harmless play can quickly lead to blockages needing urgent care. That’s why having flexible endoscopy forceps and the right veterinary tools on hand isn’t just a nice-to-have — it’s what lets you solve problems quickly, without resorting to major surgery.
What Is Forceps Grasping in Veterinary Endoscopy?
Forceps grasping is a minimally invasive technique that uses specialized instruments—grasping forceps—guided through an endoscope to remove foreign objects from a pet’s gastrointestinal tract. A multicenter study reviewing 92 dogs and cats found endoscopic removal succeeded in
88 % of cases, with the majority of procedures taking under an hour.
Veterinarians now often use forceps grasping with a flexible endoscope to safely pull out swallowed objects — no big cuts, less pain, and faster healing.

🩺 Forceps Grasping vs. Traditional Surgery: Why It Matters
When comparing forceps grasping vs surgical laparotomy, the advantages quickly become clear:
- Less invasive: No large incisions, which means fewer complications and faster healing.
- Lower anesthesia time: Minimally invasive means pets spend less time under, reducing risks.
- Reduced costs: Shorter procedures and quicker recovery save owners money on hospitalization.
- Happier clients: Owners appreciate seeing their pets bounce back almost immediately.
此外,借助现代兽医工具来取出异物,例如高分辨率内窥镜系统结合精密抓取钳,成功率令人印象深刻——在稳定患者中,胃部异物的成功率通常超过90%。
Types of Veterinary Grasping Forceps: Not All Are Created Equal
Just as there’s a difference between biopsy vs grasping forceps, there’s a huge range in quality and design across brands.
- Rat tooth grasping forceps: Great for firmly securing irregular or slippery objects.
- Alligator forceps: 理想用于平坦物品或在狭小空间内操作。
- 3-prong或4-prong取回装置:非常适合小型、精细的提取。

How Forceps Grasping Actually Works (Step by Step)
让我们通过一个典型的狗狗胃部异物取出场景来分析一下:
- Stabiliser le patient : Contrôler la déshydratation et corriger d'abord les déséquilibres électrolytiques.
- Sedate and scope: Under general anesthesia, introduce the flexible endoscope through the mouth.
- Locate the object: La cámara localiza exactamente dónde está atascado el calcetín, el hueso o la liga para el cabello.
- Deploy forceps: 通过内窥镜的通道,您引导抓取钳夹住物体。
- Gently extract: Carefully back out, watching in real-time on the monitor to avoid scraping or tearing the lining.
- Inspect & rinse: Once removed, examine the mucosa for damage and flush if needed.
Not only does this avoid a major abdominal incision, it dramatically shortens recovery. Most dogs can go home the same day.
Real Case Story: From Blockage to Quick Recovery
一只年轻的杂交犬在流口水和无效呕吐几个小时后被送来。它的主人怀疑它翻找了垃圾。影像学检查证实了这一点——一块玉米棒 lodged 在它的胃里,这是导致胃肠道梗阻的常见原因。
使用灵活的内窥镜钳,兽医团队成功地通过口腔取出了小球,避免了侵入性手术。在同一天,这只狗就变得警觉,开始进食,并准备回家——没有切口,没有长时间的恢复期。
When Is Forceps Grasping Better — and When Isn’t It?
虽然在宠物中使用内窥镜钳是革命性的,但它并不是解决所有问题的灵丹妙药。
✅ Ideal for:
- 食道或胃中的异物
- 轻便的单件物品(如袜子、绳子、小玩具)
- Patients stable enough for sedation but not ideal surgical candidates
🚫 手术仍然是必要的:
- Large or sharp objects at risk of perforation
- 多个物品缠绕在一起
- 无法安全拉回的小肠内迁移的阻塞物
Discussing these nuances with pet owners builds trust. They appreciate knowing you’re choosing the least invasive, most effective option.
Cost and ROI: Forceps辅助移除对您的实践意味着什么?
Clients often worry: “Is this more expensive than surgery?”
实际上,使用钳子辅助移除猫或狗的异物的费用通常低于开放手术,因为:
- No multi-day hospitalization
- 更少的药物和术后护理
- Faster discharge = 更多预约时段为您的诊所
从实践的角度来看,投资于优质的兽医抓握钳品牌和培训是值得的。提供先进的非手术性胃肠道阻塞治疗的诊所通常会看到更高的客户保留率和更多的推荐——因为当你拯救了某人的狗免于开腹手术时,口碑传播得很快。
如何为您的诊所选择合适的镊子
很容易被选择淹没。以下是小动物胃肠道异物移除的快速备忘单:
- Length & flexibility: Make sure it pairs well with your endoscope’s length.
- Grip type: Rat-tooth for tough items, smooth for delicate tissues.
- 耐用性与灭菌:例如,Reescope 的产品线设计用于承受反复高压灭菌而不失去精度。
Preventing Future Cases: Educating Pet Owners
A huge part of reducing these emergencies is prevention. Talk to clients about:
- Pet-proofing the house (especially socks, strings, small toys)
- Supervised play, especially with balls or chew toys
- Recognizing early
signs your dog or cat may have swallowed something, like repeated vomiting, drooling, or sudden loss of appetite.
一点教育可以避免未来许多头痛和费用。
❓常见问题部分
1. 内窥镜钳可以移除所有类型的异物吗?
并不总是如此。虽然大多数软物品或小障碍物可以通过这种方式取回,但大型、尖锐或深埋的物体可能仍然需要手术。
2. 使用产钳抓取对我的宠物来说痛吗?
Under general anesthesia, your pet won’t feel a thing during the procedure. Because it’s minimally invasive, discomfort afterward is usually much less than with traditional surgery.
3. 宠物在内镜取出后需要多长时间才能恢复?
Most pets go home the same day and return to normal eating and activity within 24 hours, much faster than surgical recovery.
4. 可以使用相同的内窥镜钳进行活检吗?
Some grasping forceps look similar to biopsy forceps but have different jaws designed for holding or cutting. Using the right instrument for the task is key to safety and success.
5. Does forceps grasping require anesthesia?
是的。尽管钳子抓取是一种微创手术,但仍然需要全身麻醉。这使得您的宠物在兽医小心地引导内窥镜和钳子取出异物时完全静止且无痛。好消息是,由于没有大切口,麻醉时间通常比传统手术短——而且宠物恢复得更快。
