Dog's lucky escape after swallowing barbed fishing lure
abc.net.au/news/dog-survives-after-swallowing-squid-jig-barbed-fishing-lure/101812710It is not unusual for vets to retrieve strange objects swallowed by beloved pets, but one curious dog in Tasmania managed to set a complex challenge that seemed impossible to overcome.
When Ms Percey turned around, she saw a "funny-coloured object" disappear down Nala's throat — and the dog reacted almost instantly."Obviously, she was in pain. She kept trying to be sick to try to get it out."They rushed to the vet in nearby Claremont, and within 20 minutes, they had the answer on an X-ray screen.
Instead, it was stuck on the pharynx in her throat, which meant it could not be removed with an incision.
