jethro the corn snake. he can suck down 3 hopper mice in about four minutes. even my coworkers were appalled that i took this picture. "he's a pretty snake, though" one said politely.
last night at work a ~45kg lab presented with abdominal pain and a hisory of eating stupid shit. he was at the clinic one month prior for choking on a lamb bone. i will never, ever own a lab.
these were his radiographs:
an exploratory surgery recovered a 14" slab of rawhide, still in the stomach, fully intact apart from minor teeth marks at one end. and some grass. we were all mystified as to how that came to be. how does one swallow an unchewed, 14" solid object? and why? it was rather flexible, but still. the doctor had to fold it in half to pry it out of the gastrotomy incision.
here it is, post-op, with my hand for scale:
...we are being timed for school. i did my first full-body swedish-massage-in-an-hour yesterday... and then heard 'right here right now' on the radio.
