Poor puppy! Dogs will eat anything, won't they?

Surgery on Great Dane reveals cause of stomach upset: Nearly 44 socks


Image

The 3-year-old Great Dane was miserable and retching when its owners rushed him to a northwest Portland emergency animal hospital.

It was something he ate!

X-rays showed a stomach full of "a large quantity of foreign material." Nearly two hours of surgery later, Dr. Ashley Magee had the answer - the dog had consumed 43 1/2 socks.

DoveLewis Emergency Animal Hospital spokeswoman Shawna Harch said it's perhaps the strangest case in the hospital's history, The Oregonian reported.

So strange that the hospital entered last February's tale, complete with X-rays, in an annual contest sponsored by the vet magazine, Veterinary Practice News, and won a prize. Fittingly enough, the contest is called "They Ate WHAT?"

Lucky dog! From the looks of it, he's been scarfing down socks for a long time.

The dryer ate it.


My Kitty Belle ate about a foot long orange ribbon. That was interesting. This is much worse.

One night I took our dog out to potty. She hunched to have a bm and strained and strained. It looked like something was stuck, so I picked up a fallen leaf and grabbed whatever it was and pulled it out. It almost looked like a balloon, because when she would strain, it would get bigger.

LOL, it was a condom. Open end inside! :eek
