A young Bernese mountain dog named Luna is recovering from multiple procedures after vets in Los Angeles found dozens of items in her stomach
A dog in the Los Angeles area is recovering from extensive surgery after her veterinarian pulled 24 socks and half a dozen other items from her stomach.
According to an Instagram post from the Corona Animal Emergency Center, located 50 miles outside of Los Angeles in Corona, Calif., a 7-month-old Bernese mountain dog named Luna was rushed to the hospital after her owners noticed she was vomiting and had a “firm, distended abdomen.”
“What we found was jaw-dropping,” the hospital wrote, alongside x-ray photos of Luna’s stomach full of clothing, plus photos of her in recovery and a snap of a veterinarian, Dr. Jenny, posing with everything that was found in her stomach — including “24 socks, one scrunchie, two hair ties, one shoe insert, one small onesie (from her intestines!) and miscellaneous cloth pieces.”
The veterinary clinic confirmed that Luna had undergone a gastrotomy to clear her stomach and an enterotomy to remove the onesie, which was causing an intestinal obstruction.
