Dog Recovering After Eating 130 Nails
Owner Thankful Basset Hound Is Ali
Tuesday, November 24, 2009
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Ashley Saks couldn't believe what she saw when the veterinarian brought her the X-rays. Her 2-year-old Basset Hound Roxy had ingested over 100 nails.
“I counted about 130, but I don't know how many she threw up before she was taken, so it could've been more,” Saks said.
The unbelievable X-rays showed a clump of about 100 or so nails stuck at the base of Roxy's stomach. At that point, there were already a few stragglers that made its way through her intestines.
“They put her to sleep, stuck something down her throat, and pulled them out a few at a time,” said Saks. “Because it was such a big bulk, they couldn't just pull them out, it took over an hour to do that.”

Saks said she left the dog with a friend for the weekend while she was out of town and told her friend to make sure to lock Roxy up whenever he leaves because she doesn't like being alone. But last Saturday he ran to the store thinking she would be OK to roam around by herself and that's when she found the nails.
“It's unbelievable she's thankfully still alive,” Saks said.
Saks said the nails didn't puncture any of her internal organs.
