Treatment: Surgery

Comments: Sadie, a four year old mixed breed dog swallowed a bacon wrapped steak with the metal skewer still inside. She began vomiting frequently after and was brought to the hospital for evaluation.

Follow Up Care: Sadie was taken in for xrays, which discovered that the metal skewer had stopped at the large intestine. Surgery was performed to remove the metal before further damage could occur.

Updates: Sadie is doing well after surgery. She was prescribed courses of antibiotic, pain medicine and placed on a skewer-free diet.
