After one beloved family dog almost died after stealing an eating one classic BBQ vegetable, a Hull vet has issued an urgent warning to pet owners about the potentially fatal food.
Raising the alarm on the dangers of one vegetable, a Hull veterinary practice issued an urgent warning to pet owners.
X-ray scans revealed the corn on the cob as a solid object in the two-year-old’s stomach, which had to be removed during an operation. Corn on the cob is not toxic for dogs but it is indigestible and likely to cause a blockage, preventing solids and fluids from moving through the stomach, which could prove fatal.Haven Vets is now warning owners to be extra vigilant when dogs are in the kitchen, near barbecues, picnics or around waste they could consume without being seen that may be deadly.
Sinclair said: “Corn on the cob can cause choking in dogs or it is highly likely to cause a blockage as it passes through the gastric tract if they do manage to swallow it. They will start being sick and if it gets lodged in the intestine it can cause parts of the gut to die off and affect the blood supply to those areas. There’s a risk the dog could become very ill or even die.
Roman’s owners Danielle and Kevin Shaw have thanked Haven Vets for saving his life. Danielle said: “That’s the first time Roman has done that. He never normally chews anything in the house - he runs off with the occasional sock but always gives it back. But he snatched the corn and swallowed it in one.
