South Metro Animal Emergency Care has removed a wide variety of 'foreign
objects' from cats and dogs, including corn cobs, socks, coins, toys,
glass, towels and washcloths, carpet fibers, drapery cords, undigested
bones, and more.
The owners of this dog feared he had swallowed a AA battery.
Radiographs confirmed their suspicions.
This dog suffered a gunshot wound, which fractured its femur.
This dog was also shot - but in the chest - causing air and fluid to
surround and compress its heart and lungs.
Although not foreign objects, air or fluid in the abdominal cavity
can also be serious. This dog is suffering from Gastric
Dilatation-Volvulus - commonly called "bloat."
