A prickly situation!
This is Penny, who’s owners came home to find she had chewed up a pin cushion and weren’t sure if she had swallowed one of the pins. An X-Ray revealed that unfortunately she had swallowed it, and that the sharp end was open. Luckily it was still in the stomach and we were able to remove it with an endoscope, saving her from having to go through surgery. She is now well on the way to recovery, thankfully.
We are constantly surprised at some of the things that dogs will eat!
