A member of a local dog forum had a scare yesterday. After worrying about her dog who had eaten some chocolate biscuits and was becoming unwell,she consulted her vet.He found a mass in the dogs stomach and the dog had an emergency operation. The mass was sand which the dog had swallowed from her ball during her games on the beach. The sand had acted like concrete.
Tias operation last night went well thank goodness and all is well.The issue with the chocolate biscuits turned out to be a blessing in diguise.

Thanks for the warning, Rosa and I will be at the beach a lot when we visit Scotland so it will be something I need to be aware of!
