Golf balls inside Labrador - A dog swallowed 13 golf balls which were later removed from his stomach. The dogs ate these balls on the walk around a Fife course. Owner Chris Morrison took his 5 year old black Labrador, Oscar, round the Pitreavie Golf course in Dunfermline for several months. Chris took Oscar to the veteran when he noticed a rattling sound coming from his stomach. Vet discovered that there were 13 balls, each of them weighing about 45 grams in his stomach.

Morrison, a planning administrator, said that one of the balls was there is in his stomach for a long time. The ball was stuck for a long time and had started to turn black and the outer shell was decomposed.

Morison said they did not have any idea about when this incident happened but it would have been fair to assume at least more than a month ago.

Morrison felt Oscar’s stomach and heard the rattling sound. Oscar used to bring a few golf balls home but Morrison had no idea that he could eat them. The veteran said that he has never seen anything like this, it was bizarre.

Morrison also said that Oscar is a black Labrador so he was a fair size but to swallow 13 golf balls is something amazing. The balls from the stomach were removed after an hour long operation.
