WHERE do you see the symptoms that this dog had that indicated an obstruction??? I have not see that. She said the dog died of lead poisoning.   
I would suggest you ask her the presenting symptoms. My guess is it was nothing that would indicate a chest xray which WAS done once there were symptoms indicating it.   |  
 
  lol you just cannot accept that a VET would screw up can you lol you are funny - ok let me break it down for you  
why did they do an endoscopy and brochoscopy - do ya think the dog was VOMITTING or choking?  There is the sign for me no need for op to explain further - WHY WAS AN XRAY NOT DONE before all these invasive procedures.  It was in there a MONTH and why she died of lead poisoning LJ.  She is a tiny dog and was her ALT HIGH from toxins and why they ran BATS for liver -hmmmmm another sign  
LJ THE VETS SCREWED UP FACE IT - wake up and realize medical professionals are not GOD they make mistakes and it costs us our pets and our lives so stop telling people not to educate themselves and just listen to their vets already or more dogs are going to die 
My Holly died today from lead poisoning. She was 6 months old. She has been in and out of the vet for over a month. At first they thought she had liver shunts, then encephalitis from toxoplamosis or neospora, then she got pneumonia and THEN on a chest x-ray the vet finally saw a metallic object, a lead craft weight. She endured a spinal tap, a 
brochoscopy and endoscopy. She had had lead poisoning all this time. Today her breathing became so irregular the vet called us in. We had been visiting twice a day. She was having seizures. We just didnt know what to do. Then she had another seizure while we were holding her and she stopped breathing. The vet gave her an injection and then she was gone. Oh how I loved her. Oh how I will miss her. So sad....So sad.
