A few weeks ago I looking for a picture to include in a post called Gastric Torsion & Your Dog and I came across some interesting x-ray photos of objects dogs have swallowed. Being around a lot of dogs and their owners, we are constantly hearing about strange things that dogs have managed to find and eat; take a look at a few of these.

This picture shows a video game controller that has been swallowed by a dog. These things are relatively large, and I hope it was a bigger dog. After the owner had noticed that his dog was acting lethargic and wasn’t moving his bowels, the dog finally made a visit to the vet and the x-ray was taken. This particular dog went on to have the remote surgically removed and fully recovered, but only after a very hefty emergency vet bill.

Here are some more x-ray pictures. Some are more obvious then others, but feel free to post your guesses as to what object appears in each of the numbered pictures. I will post the answers at a later date.

These pictures may make you re-think leaving your dog outside in the yard while you are at work all day and consider crating the dog when you are out of the home or unable to keep your eye on them. We always recommend crating dogs when you are not home; not only does it help prevent the dog from practicing unwanted behaviors, but it also prevents them from getting into, well…. you name it! However you approach monitoring your dog, please do yourself and your dog a favor and keep your eye on your pet.
