Yesterday we removed the stitches from a great 8 month old yellow lab, Zoey. At the end of November Zoey decided to chew up and swallow bits of plastic and string. This was an unfortunate event because the plastic got stuck in her stomach and the string traveled into her intestines and caused multiple holes to develop. This was a very sick puppy! Luckily, we took her to surgery ASAP and removed the plastic and string. The many holes were sewn shut and lots of fluids, antibiotics and pain meds were given. She now is a happy, healthy active puppy! Whew…
