See Dog That Swallowed 10 Hearing Aid Batteries and Miraculously Survived (Photos)

 

A small dog was rushed to an animal hospital and underwent emergency surgery after swallowing ten hearing aid batteries belonging to its owners in Texas.

 

Dog owners, Cathy and Jim Barnard of Willowbrook, said that their 7-pound dog named Boogie, chewed on the package and swallowed ten batteries.

 

The 1-year-old puppy was rushed to the animal hospital to save it from dying. It was attended to by Dr. Carissa Blair at the North Houston Veterinary Specialists who performed emergency surgery on the dog as induced vomiting could leave burns in the esophagus.

 

 

The dog was in harm's way because digestive fluids can decompose the batteries, causing harmful acids to be released, and eventually death. After consulting with the Barnards, Blair surgically removed the batteries, and Boogie was went home safe. The owners were overjoyed that the surgery was successful as the batteries did not decompose in Boogie's stomach.

 

Boogie is notorious for causing little trouble. Several months ago, Boogie became ill after eating too much popcorn. However, the dog owners adore their pet and hope it doesn't get into another trouble soon.
