His mistress knew something was wrong. She first took him to a local veterinarian, who suspected lungworm. The dog was treated accordingly, but the symptoms persisted.
Ellana Farrow then decided to examine Jax in a veterinary clinic located in Sutton Weaver in Cheshire. There, a CT scan revealed that the quadruped had a 5-centimeter blade of grass in its airway, reaching the lungs.
Veterinarians resorted to bronchoscopy; They inserted a tube fitted with a mini camera, which allowed them to have a visual of the foreign body, then to remove it safely.
