Go carful with that green stuff, my mum worked for the PDSA for 35yrs and said that tennis balls and sticks were the two main culprits for dogs ending up in doggy surgery..

Have a couple of friends who are vets and they say the amount of stones they take out of dogs stomachs is shocking.

Yup, it used to be bones.. when I was a kid, our whippet would spend hours licking the marrow out of a bone but we would to take it away before he chomped it up and swallowed the shards.

She crunches bones up too and eats whole, small, crabs off the beach and rabbit droppings, horse poo, shall I go on? She's a scavenger, born on the mean streets of Romania.

Oh yeh, she does that too, and if there's a dead fish on the beach! That's heaven! Remind me why we have dogs?

So it turns out that lovely cute marmalade loves fishing bate, still on the hook, still attached to the line and rod?! We're just back from the emergency vets, waiting to hear what the damage is!?
Please send some positive vibes this way.

Good luck!

If it's barbless, might just pop straight out..

We've just had a call, it's in her stomach, so full operation and hopefully home tomorrow afternoon? Little bugger!

Back home, really very sorry for herself. I can't bring myself to put the lampshade on her, isn't there a modern alternative to stop her chewing her wound?
