An x-ray examination of a French bulldog found 11 rubber ducks swallowed by him in the stomach, writes the New York Post.
The owner of the dog became suspicious when rubber ducks from her collection began to disappear. She decided to take the dog to the vet and during the examination, the missing toys were found. The bulldog was immediately operated on and all the eaten ducks were removed from him.
Rubber toys can be dangerous for pets, veterinarians warn. Symptoms may include restlessness, shortness of breath, choking, and bloating. Even if there are no symptoms, but you know for sure that the dog or cat has swallowed a rubber toy, you should contact your veterinarian. Rubber in the body of an animal can cause suffocation or blockage of the digestive tract.
