“Meg” the Border Collie was killed
when she dived onto a stick that was being thrown for her. The stick
went longways into her throat, ripping her oesophagus and breaking her
collarbone.
Border Collie “Hobby”
needed emergency surgery when a stick he picked up in the park went down
his throat, shearing off one of his tonsils.
“Danny” the Weimaraner dived onto a
stick that was being thrown for him. The stick went straight through his
tongue, leaving a hole the size of a man’s index finger.
“Zany”, the German Shepherd
cross, came to grief when a tiny stick went up through the roof of her
mouth and travelled upwards, looking for an exit. The exit happened to
be her left eye. Zany was
in great pain and the vet thought she had a tumour behind the eye. It
was only during the operation to remove Zany’s eye, that the vet
discovered the stick.
“Lester” the Border Collie, suffered
a nasty injury when a stick that was being thrown for him went down into
his throat. He did survive but the shock of the ordeal brought on
epilepsy. Now, whenever he has a fit, his owner feels so guilty for
throwing a stick when she could easily have thrown a ball instead.
“Tammy”, the Collie Cross,
was on a walk in the forest with her owner and her Rottweiller friend
“Ben”, who was proudly carrying a long stick. As Tammy ran up behind
him, Ben suddenly turned away. The end of the stick swung around,
piercing
Tammy’s eye. Tammy’s
owner had to carry her several miles back to the car and then rush her
to a vet for emergency surgery to remove the eye, but sadly she developed septicaemia and subsequently
died of toxic shock.
