Vets operating on a Great Dane were shocked to discover the animal had eaten 43 and a half socks.

The owners of the 64kg canine knew it was fond of chewing socks, but had little idea how many it had actually swallowed.

A spokesperson for the DoveLewis Emergency Animal Hospital in Portland, Oregon, said: "The x-rays revealed a large amount of foreign material in the dog's stomach, at which point the dog was taken into surgery to have the material removed."

The three-year-old pooch survived the two-hour operation, and has now won a prize for her remarkably recovery.

Yikes! :shock:
 
xD I take my cats to this emergency vet hospital, but I still can't believe that dog managed to eat that many socks. They really do try to take good care of the animals they receive in their emergency room. :3
