A retrospective study of choke (oesophageal obstruction) in 64 one-hump Dromedary camels ( Camelus dromedarius ) in Saudi Arabia.

Choke was most likely in animals less than 1 year of age with complete obstruction of the cervical oesophagus. Surgical and non-surgical methods were effective in resolving the choke in the dromedary camels. It was not practical to use forceps extraction in all adult camels due to the limited length of the alligator forceps.
