Chubb is a very greedy dog – he wolfs down his food and rarely takes the time even to chew. I am sure that picture is something very familiar to some of our readers. I am sure that some of our readers even give their dogs corn on the cob to play with. Though you should know that dogs cannot eat the cob because it can lead to an impaction which could become an emergency. But when Fido gets a little too excited very dangerous things can happen. Like stealing a piece of corn with metal skewers still in the corn.
That is exactly what Chubb did. He was rushed to the hospital where X-rays clearly showed the skewer lodged in Chubb’s stomach but luckily it hadn’t caused any damage yet. The veterinarian operated immediately because they felt that leaving it is of any amount of time could have perforated his stomach, causing potentially fatal peritonitis.” Chibb has recovered well and is pretty much back to his happy crazy self but is no longer invited to the family BBQ and is kept away from the dinner table.
