A puppy reportedly swallowed a foot-long drumstick. The pup had to have surgery to remove the stick. The pup's owner said she doesn’t know how the puppy swallowed the stick, “It’s a mystery.”
Leela is a 4-month-old pit bull mix with a penchant for eating,
and in this case just about anything goes. "She's a pup right now, so she chews on about anything she can get hold of," according to Thomas Driscoll, Leela's Owner."She's eaten a few shoes, she's chewed up a football, some towels. She's chewed up all her toys, she's a good chewer," according to Alex Driscoll, Thomas' sister.
But when Leela suddenly stopped eating and chewing, she earned a quick trip to the vet and when veterinarian Dr. Kathy Blanchard first caught sight of Leela's x-rays, she thought they were a hoax.
"I thought the techs were playing a prank on me. I thought they'd taken a piece of pipe, we'd had a plumber in the day before, and they'd laid it on the dog and taken the x-rays and just thrown them up there to see my reaction," said Blanchard.
