Dogs are famous for being a little over excitable and swallowing things they shouldn't - sometimes with tragic consequences. Now, a vet has put together a list of the unexpected items they've had to deal with.
The list of unusual items eaten by dogs that veterinary surgeons across Vets4Pets practices have seen throughout 2022 includes super glue, a McDonald’s sauce pot, earmuffs, a golf ball and a stone the size of a lime. Seven-year-old Staffordshire Bull Terrier, Porridge, had a lucky escape after he wolfed down a McDonald’s sauce pot in June, with life-saving intervention by Vets4Pets Barnsley Hospital required to remove the offending item.
And a seven-year-old Labrador named Jet received surgery at a Vets4Pets practice in Cleveleys in September after swallowing a stone the size of a lime. Thanks to the swift and skilled intervention from expert clinicians, Porridge and Jet have both recovered well.
