⚠️ GRAPHIC CONTENT WARNING - SURGERY ⚠️

Meet Theo, a German Shepherd whose game of fetch at the park took a terrifying turn when a stick became lodged in his throat while running.

Theo was rushed to our clinic via pet ambulance, where Dr Arthur House performed emergency surgery. A CT scan allowed us to precisely locate the stick and carefully plan the safest surgical approach.

The stick was found resting against Theo’s carotid artery - an injury there can cause catastrophic bleeding which can be fatal within minutes. The stick had also splintered, with each tiny fragment needing to be removed. Left behind, these fragments can lead to deep infection and serious complications.

Thankfully, the surgery was a success! Theo went home the very next day and is recovering well.

As harmless as they seem, sticks can be incredibly dangerous for dogs. We strongly recommend choosing safer alternatives when playing fetch 💙
