Owner Chris Morrison had been taking five-year-old black labrador Oscar round the Pitreavie golf course in Dunfermline for several months. He took Oscar to the vet after noticing a rattling sound coming from his pet's stomach. They then discovered that 13 balls - each weighing 45 grams - were lodged in his stomach. Mr Morrison, a planning administrator, said one of the balls had been in his stomach so long that it had turned black and was decomposing. He is a black lab so he is a fair size, but to swallow 13 is quite amazing Chris Morrison He said: "He finds golf balls like truffles. We're not sure how long exactly this happened over, but it must have been a fair period - several months at least. "I felt his stomach and heard them rattling around. "He normally brings a few home, but I had no idea he had eaten so many. "The vet hadn't seen anything like it, it was bizarre. "He is a black lab so he is a fair size, but to swallow 13 is quite amazing." The balls were removed two weeks ago in a successful hour-long operation. Bag full Oscar is now on the road to making a full recovery on a special post-operation diet of watered-down food. He also has to wear a muzzle while out and about. Mr Morrison added: "He does get a bit frustrated now and again." Bob Hesketh, 40, principal vet at Vetrica in Rosyth, said he had never seen anything like it. He said: "It was like a magic trick. I opened him up and felt what I thought was two or three golf balls. "But they just kept coming until we had a bag full. "I think they must have been in there for several months, one was all black and the shell was swollen." I am putting myself to the fullest possible use, which is all I think that any conscious entity can ever hope to do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eppy 3,446 Report post Posted September 5, 2008 FORE *hits the dog with a club and watches it fly* wow 13 hole in ones with 1 hit =D "That fairy needs to stop shouting in my ear, or I'm going to throw her friend I have trapped in the bottle into a lava pit or something. HEY, LISTEN! No, YOU listen. If something's important, just say so without yelling at me. Or fly over to it and change color like you usually do. Just because I'm busy mowing the lawn and hoping I'll find some spare change, doesn't mean I can't hear you." - Link Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
