I understand from his owner that they have been cleaned up and reused.... At least one of them had a monogram which was recognised by the owner as belonging to a fellow golf club member, so it will hopefully be returned!

Interesting! I had a Labrador that used to pick up golf balls but just chew them to bits. I never entered my head that she might have swallowed them whole! I still do not know if the gooey stuff in the centre is toxic in any way? The taste never seemed to bother her. Anyway, toxic or not, we got away with it and it was a habit she developed and apparently enjoyed over several years, a nice chewable texture I guess…?

Good x-rays indeed.

A medic friend went to a show where the act swallowed billiard balls, which is pretty impressive, however he brought them back up in numerical order

Merry Christmas

You could probably get a couple of quid for them. There's a market for second hand golf balls...

Expensive error....

Only one of these had a single bite mark, the rest appear unblemished...... Clearly didn't even touch the sides on the way down!

You’re lucky they remained solid. Once assisted with an ex-lap in a JRT that had eaten a gold ball. Unfortunatel, the dog had chewed the ball and got one of the elastic bands around the base of its tongue. This caused a linear FB. All the intestines adhered to each other :-(

That's impressive. I took 3 out of GSD once and thought that was a lot. Mind his had obviously been there a lot longer as they were different sizes and flattened where they had been banging against each other for goodness knows how long. He hadn't been on a golf course to the owners knowledge!

Blimey! That's amazing, how satisfying must that have been. Who is it does that 'x-ray of the year' competition? This would be a shoo-in!

P.S. Is that what's called "in the ruff"
