A dog that wolfed down a 4in spring has bounced back to health after undergoing life-saving treatment. Rottweiler pup Rosie swallowed the plastic spring while playing with a cat toy at her home.
Owner Claire McConnell rushed her beloved pooch to the vets who used a camera and forceps to retrieve the object from the two-year-old dog’s stomach.
The 48-year-old said: “I knew instantly what it was when the vet called me to say a foreign body had been found in her stomach. I was still surprised and shocked, though, as it had been at least four weeks since she had swallowed it.
