An adorable yellow lab puppy came in today after swallowing a spoon. What’s your strangest foreign body case so far?

You won't believe me, but once a dachshund came to my office with a blockage in his stomach with a plastic sausage wrapper... The joke is obvious but he was really in a lot of danger but we were able to save him.

😂 That would have been a run on joke for a VERY long time at my clinic.

Once a cat arrived at our clinic with a ball of wool in his stomach, he literally ate half a roll of wool, (his owner used to knit). The cat had been trying to regurgitate the wool for some time as if it were its hair when bathing, but it was suffering a lot, the owner brought it, and after several tests and the cat was able to expel the tip of the ball of wool, we were able to proceed to operate on it.

The worst thing I've seen is a sun golden with a 3A battery in his nose, just as you hear it, in this case, the owner knew what had happened because he had cameras in his house, and while the dog was alone, he disarmed the remote control and played With the control the battery entered his eye, we had to sedate him several times to be able to save him.

I work as a zoo veterinarian, once a visitor threw a stick at a chimpanzee, the worst thing about this stick was that it was sharp, this chimpanzee stuck it in his own leg, and we had to operate on him.

Once I found a cat in the stomach of a Doberman dog, it literally ate it in two bites, it couldn't digest it, the strangest thing is that the dog wasn't aggressive at all.

I'm so sorry for the pup, omg! I remember once when my dog was a small pup he swallowed a cling film ball, I was cooking and threw the meat wrapper in the bin, and without skipping a beat, he ran straight to it and started chewing. I waited a couple hours while watching him and he passed it normally, thank god.

This is definitely not the strangest foreign body case we've seen here at the clinic, but it's definitely up there! Foreign body ingestion is actually quite common in puppies and dogs - they tend to see everything as a toy! Once a dog came in after swallowing an iPhone, it was very strange and complicated to remove it.

I've seen a lot of strange cases, but this one takes the cake. I wonder how the puppy got hold of the spoon? This could have easily been avoided if they had just been more careful.

A wallet....with everything still in it. Why are dogs like this.
