Yeah, we had a young hound come in once that had gotten into stuff and eaten a large catfish hook. We x-rayed him and sure, enough--large, barbed, catfish hook inside the dog. The dog had too much food in its stomach to operate immediately so we planned to stay after closing to do the surgery. That evening, the kennel technicians took him out for one last poop before he went under, and out came the hook. Amazing.

Also seen:
1. Dish rags/towels/socks/underwear
2. diapers (yuck)
3. an entire box of baby wipes (God-awful surgery as they were strung out through the full length of the intestines)
4. Wicker Easter basket pieces in a cat's stomach
5. small stuffed toy
6. cat litter and a big rubber gasket
7. toy arrow with a suction cup on the end
8. Barbie doll (boy, do those look weird on an x-ray)
