Rattling dog had eaten 13 golf balls

A dog had 13 golf balls removed from his stomach after his owner noticed his stomach was rattling.

Chris Morrison noticed an unusual sound from the stomach of his black labrador, Oscar, who he regularly walks on a golf course near his home in Dunfermline.

When he took the five-year-old to a vet, he was stunned to find 13 balls were lodged in the dog's stomach, reports the Daily Telegraph.

Mr Morrison, a planning administrator, said one of the balls had been in her stomach so long that it had turned black and was decomposing.

He said: "He finds golf balls like truffles. We're not sure how long exactly this happened over - but it must have been a fair period, several months at least.

"I felt his stomach and heard them rattling around. He normally brings a few home, but I had no idea he had eaten so many.

"It is normally around the ninth and twelfth fairways that we go around - and he just goes and searches for them wherever the golfers lose them."

The balls were removed two weeks ago in an hour-long operation conducted by Bob Hesketh, 40, a vet from Rosyth.

He said: "It was like a magic trick. I opened him up and felt what I thought was two or three golf balls. But they just kept coming until we had a bag full."

Oscar is now on the road to making a full recovery after a special post-operation diet of watered down food, but he now has to wear a muzzle during his walks.

I had a few jokes for this story and this line came to mind.


"Contrary to some reports, none belonged to a famous golfer, who is named after a feline.":eek::rolleyes:

You have to admit, losing your balls on the course is one thing... have you priced what a dozen costs?:eek::confused::rolleyes:;)

You know, I know this is hard to believe, but, no, I have not priced them lately. Or, ever for that matter! LOL!

Geeze - that pooch is lucky to be alive.

My niece's lab eats rocks - and has had surgery TWICE to remove them. The first time the bill topped $5000, but believe it or not, the vet cut her a deal for the 2nd operation. Being somewhat of a bimbo, she told her father she didn't know how to get the dog to stop eating them. Of course he told her the simplest solution - a muzzle! DUH - now she only has to figure out how to put it on (the dog)! :rolleyes::D

:eek: OMG I have a niece with a Chocolate Lab, Duke, who has had to be cut open twice for eating rocks. I told her hubby he was going to have to use a muzzle. He was against it because he thought it would alter the dog's personality but I said no. Luckily I think I got through to them. None of my Labs ever ate rocks or anything unusual for that matter, thank goodness.
