Hi, I just thought I would post this little story to try and help other Dog owners.
Recently one of my good freinds fell on hard times and more or less became homeless. He had a lovely three year old Lab Dog called Duke for which he could not look after, so I had him at mine, he fitted in well with my other Dogs, but had a problem with eating everthing in site, food from the Bird table my other Dogs food etc etc.
A few Sundays ago he became very very poorly, so bad I called the Vets and arranged to take him in for examination. They found an obstruction in his intestine to which they operated on to the sum of almost £800. What was found was Polyester bedding material from my Dogs Pet shop bought blankets which he had eaten ! . Three days later Duke came home to me, in quite a poorly state. Saturday night I walked with him around the garden and put him to bed in his plastic Dog bed and tucked him up for the night. In the morning I found poor old Duke had died in the night. It was very very sad for me as some of you may know how I love my Dogs.
I hope this may serve to help and warn some of you about what can happen.
