Dog Swallows 5 Toy Cats!
When Snowy, a West Highland terrier from Cambridgeshire, couldn’t keep her food down for two weeks, her owners sensibly took her for a check-up at the Cromwell Veterinary Group. Imagine their surprise when the routine x-ray came back looking like this!
Yes, that is exactly what it looks like; Snowy had swallowed a family of 5 toy cats, the biggest of which was 2 inches tall! The other 4 cats were about an inch long as well, which means they would take up quite a lot of room inside any dog, let alone a little West Highland terrier – a breed that rarely grow to taller than 11 inches themselves!
After the operation to remove the cats, associate vet Carol Barker reported that Snowy had made a good recovery and was much happier. Although we don’t know how Snowy managed to find or swallow the toys, this is a clear reminder to all owners to keep easily-swallowed things out of reach of toys. Especially if they look like lunch!
