Otto has famous bowels!!

[kirstyhen]

He had his first booster tonight and the Vet was asking how he had been after our 'incident'

He then went on to say he had used Otto's X-Rays in a lecture recently!

Do you think we should ask for a discount on our bill as we have provided such a useful learning tool??

I wouldn't bother!!

I think you'll find xrays of spangles and labs eating odd things are 10 a penny..........

 

[Lucy_Nottingham]

say you want subsidising for its use!

hehe

Awww poor otto, hope his belly is feeling a bit better!

 

[kirstyhen]

He has a cast iron constitution and was never affected anyway!

Maybe we could start feeding him 'interesting' objects to order for Educational X-Rays!

When we went for our puppy classes they showed us an xray of a Labrador with five golf balls in his stomach!

That's nothing compared to some of the stories I've heard! Fish Hooks, Bags of Cement, Pin Tubs full of Pins, Plastic Toys (both of the child and 'adult' nature!!) and tin cans, but the worst was the Springer puppy that ate a kilo of gravel because it had a bit of fat on it, his stomach nearly ruptured and they were taking handful after handful out of him in surgery!

Our old vet, grinning his head off, handed my mother one of the two pairs of tights that he extracted from the innards of our old girl, in a see-through plastic bag.
They had been navy, but had turned green and slimy on their travels around her intestine

My favourite is the labrador who ate the mobile - owners didn't realise until the phone rang!! It 'passed' through naturally apparently - not sure I would want to make a call on it after that journey though...........

I think you should, and if you do, can we get in on the act?
Dalmatian dog (my parents) has had 3 emergency surgeries to remove things she shouldn't from her insides.

In the past she's stolen/eaten pens, pencils, pineapple, a box of freddos, toys, clothes, potatoes, bread, mobile, rubbish, cat litter, gravel etc. Toilet roll is a favourite tho. All in a days work for Spotty dog :s Doesn't seem to matter how tidy the house is, turn your back for two minutes, edible or not it will be gone.
She does have epilepsy tho and is on close to 20 tablets a day so she does sort of have an excuse
