You can't really see from that photo but the nut was about an inch wide We think it came from a tractor, it never ceases to amaze me the things that dogs will eat!


The culpirt the next day, looking a bit sorry for herself but feeling lots better!

Is it a sweet or maybe a button?

[Mags]

Goodness!!! Fancy swallowing something like that .......no wonder she had an upset tum!

[Moli]

Poor girl, she does look so sorry for herself, imagine eating a nut!!!

Dogs (esp Labs) are the pits for eating strange things. Cali has had a similar op due to eating stones. The one removed was size of small golfball. I wouldn't want to mention what she still eats!

Lucky girl that her owners brought her in.

Just to add, this was late on Thursday afternoon, by this morning she was up and bouncing around, asking for breakfast! She went home this afternoon

Yup, Labs are notorious 'hoovers'! We have clients with one who has been known to swallow socks she's taken off the children's feet

Labs!

Poor girl, lucky she was brought in in time.

Amazing! But interesting. No self-respecting cat would do that!
But glad she's OK now.
