Lola underwent life-saving surgery to remove a corn on the cob she had eaten
A pup was left facing life-saving surgery after sneaking a corn on the cob which left her fighting for her life. Eight-year-old Cockapoo, Lola, saw her stomach increase to 10 times its usual size after the vegetable caused a blockage leading to a build up of three litres of fluid.
Clinical director Kim Taylor-Morton carried out a gastrotomy – a surgical procedure which involved making an incision in Lola’s stomach to open it up so she could search for the foreign body and safely remove it. Kim said: “Lola’s stomach was around ten times the volume it should have been. It was full of fluid with the piece of corn acting like a cork to block the exit.
“My advice to other owners is to take their dog to their vet as soon as possible if they think they have swallowed a foreign object.”
