Basset Hound swallows 138 nails and makes a complete recovery

Following a big Thanksgiving dinner, this post is either appropriate or wildly inappropriate.

Roxy, a 2-year-old Basset Hound, doesn’t like to be alone. So when she was left with a friend of her owner, she was invited to trot along on a trip to the hardware store.

Left to wander around, she apparently developed an appetite for metal construction materials and ate some nails, 138 of them by actual count. Amazingly none punctured her digestive track and the veterinarian was able to remove them all.

See the video, including the amazing x-ray, from CNN

my pitty bull dog honey ate a tube of lipstick, a compact, a 9volt battery and a razor plus a tube of super glue which glued her mouth shut...really

I thought you said you weren't going to write any more posts about stuff dogs swallow.

I lied.

Maybe he had an iron deficiency?

I meant, "she". Duh, not so funny when I get the comment wrong and can't edit it!
