Fearing the worst it was off to the vets again. Niamh was again examined and an appointment made for her to be admitted for surgery the next day.
Surgery revealed not an infection not a growth but a sewing needle and thread. Niamh had swallowed it and it luckily turned sideways and caught in her throat. It had then penetrated the throat lining and was starting to work its way out through the muscle of her neck, no wonder she had a cough.
The vet was able to remove the needle by cutting it in half and removing the short bits without too much effort. If it had not caught it would have gone down into her stomach with who knows what results.
