Conehead Eddie

There are two lessons in this post. Most importantly, never, ever let your dog chew on a corn cob. Secondly, buy health insurance for your pet – it’s well worth it!

Unbeknown to us, Eddie our Jack Russell Terrier got a hold of a corn cob at a family barbecue and ate the whole thing. Unfortunately corn cobs don’t digest in a dog’s digestive system and part of it got stuck in his intestines. The blockage was preventing any food or water from going through, which means he’d die unless it was removed.
