🪥 Snoopy by name, snoopy by nature!
Snoopy, a 15 week old dachshund and cheeky boy, accidentally swallowed a silicone finger toothbrush and landed himself in our 24 Hour Emergency Vetcare overnight.
After confirming it was sitting in his stomach, our vet carefully performed an endoscopy to retrieve it. His tummy was full of food which made things tricky, but with plenty of patience (and some very delicate manoeuvring from our team) the toothbrush came out safely… no surgery needed 🙌🐾
Snoopy stayed with us for monitoring while his bloated tummy settled. He was the sweetest patient, even if he did manage to chew out his IV at one point!
He’s now home for a quiet recovery with strict instructions to avoid snacking on grooming tools. We’re sending our love and a speedy recovery to Snoopy 💚
👉 If your pet ever swallows something they shouldn’t, day or night, our 24 Hour Vetcare team is here to help.
