Our vets are often asked “What is the most unusual case you have ever seen”?
Lets us tell you the story of Eddie…
7 years ago Eddie was bought in to see us at Pulborough with some gastric concerns. During the consultation Eddie’s owner reported that during walks Eddie was partial to carrying a golf ball or two…It was certainly a possibility Eddie could have overenthusiastically swallowed one of these balls.
Eddie was admitted for radiographs and we were some what shocked to discover that Eddie hadn’t just swallowed one or two golf balls, there appeared to be 16 golf balls waiting patiently in Eddies stomach.
Straight away, Eddie was taken to theatre where we removed no less than 20 balls.
We are pleased to report Eddie recovered very well indeed and still visits Richard at Pulborough 7 years later!
A huge thanks to Eddie’s family for allowing us to share his story and for the wonderful pictures.
