I had a pit bull who got into the garbage, chewed an empty full size metal dog food can into shards and swallowed about 95% of them. I mean, a friggin metal can!! Luckily, he left enough shards on the carpet to give us a clue on what he had done otherwise we may not have been able to intervene and save him. He had to have emergency surgery and have his stomach and intestines opened to remove all the metal pieces. The vet showed us this handful of jagged metal pieces when we went to pick him up to take him home to recover. We are very fortunate!! He lived several more years to the ripe old age of 16 before we lost him in 2013.
Rest in peace Storm. I still miss you buddy!!
