A four-year-old dachshund presented with a two-week history of pyrexia, depression, and cough. Four months earlier, the owner observed the dog swallow a whole popsicle stick, but the animal showed no clinical signs at that time. Radiography, ultrasonography, and computed tomography confirmed an intrathoracic linear foreign body and pleural effusion in the right thorax. The pleural fluid was bloody and purulent, and contained inflammatory cells and Escherichia coli. The dog was diagnosed with pyothorax induced by a foreign body, and was treated successfully by surgical removal of the foreign body, partial lung lobectomy, thoracic lavage, and antibiotics. The foreign body was identified as a popsicle stick that the dog had eaten.
一只四岁的腊肠犬出现发热、抑郁和咳嗽症状两周。四个月前，主人观察到这只狗吞下了一整根冰棒棍，但当时该动物没有表现出临床症状。X线摄影、超声检查和计算机断层扫描证实胸腔内有线性异物，右侧胸腔有胸腔积液。胸腔积液呈血性和脓性，含有炎性细胞和大肠杆菌。这只狗被诊断为异物引起的脓胸，并通过手术取出异物、部分肺叶切除、胸腔灌洗和使用抗生素成功治愈。异物被确定为这只狗吞食的冰棒棍。
