Dovey the Shar Pei was brought to the Edmond vet clinic when her owners noticed that she was losing weight rapidly.
Nothing could've prepared them for the vet's diagnosis.
Not so soothing
When Dovey’s owners mentioned that some of their baby’s pacifiers had gone missing in the past few days, Dr. Rispoli immediately knew there could be a link with Dovey’s illness.
So he took Dovey in for an X-ray, and lo and behold, found that she had eaten several pacifiers.
Emergency operation
Dr. Rispoli had to perform surgery to remove the pacifiers from poor Dovey’s stomach. According to the X-ray, he was expecting to find around 9 or 10 pacifiers. But nothing could have prepared him for the amount he actually found: 21!
This unusual story comes with a very important message: don’t leave anything lying around in your house. Some dogs will eat anything! But all is well that ends well with Dovey. She has made a full recovery and is back to her normal self (pacifier eating habits not included).
