kronckew Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 (edited) found this interesting - also a warning. Great dane sock removal PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — The 3-year-old Great Dane was miserable and retching when its owners rushed him to a northwest Portland emergency animal hospital. It was something he ate! X-rays showed a stomach full of "a large quantity of foreign material." Nearly two hours of surgery later, Dr. Ashley Magee had the answer — the dog had consumed 43 ½ socks.

3greytjoys Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 I knew a Greyhound who died from ingesting only one sock. That Great Dane was remarkably lucky to have survived that load! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greysmom Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 All reports indicate the dog is doing well post-surgery, too. Dove Lewis (the e-vet) won second place in a contest!

EllenEveBaz Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Now there's a household that needs a crate for the dog and laundry hampers for the humans. Didn't household members notice that many socks missing? What did they think was happening to them?

Burpdog Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 I had a dobe that would eat nylon footies. I swear I was careful and I have no idea where she got them. Fortunately she pooped them out. When they wouldn't come all the way, I'd cut them off and eventually she'd get them out. I had a dobe that one time ate an entire pair of panty hose. That too came out and we were lucky. My vet the week before last removed 5 or 6 pacifers all nicely lined up in a row from a dog. I know a dobe that died from a tennis ball. I think his vets were remiss in not opening him up. It was in there for 6 months. Quote Diane & The Senior Gang Burpdog Biscuits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scullysmum Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Did the owners not wonder where on earth all their socks were?

dmswartzfager Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 (edited) According to the DoveLewis facebook page, "Apparently this dog regularly sneaks socks, so they try very hard to keep an eye on their sock inventory, his BMs and, keep a look-out for vomited-up socks. The sock ingestion wasn't too surprising, but this quantity was a shock to everyone!"

I think his vets were remiss in not opening him up. It was in there for 6 months. I had a grey that ate 2 socks and one bandanna off of my other greys neck. Thankfully he pooped them all out. We were VERY careful not to leave anything around he could eat. I also had a 13 year old lab who had surgery to remove large pieces of tennis ball that he ate about 4 months prior.
