The Dog with the Long, Stringy Poo!

Tweet

This is a true story of my husbands dog (now deceased). One day Dave came home from work. He noticed that his dog, who was out the back, was acting oddly. He seemed to be trailing something behind him, and he kept looking around to try and see his backside. Out raced to Dave to check on his dog. Unknown to Dave, earlier that day his neighbours had been playing cricket, and had hit the ball accidently over the fence. Apparently the dog had taken great delight in chewing up the cricket ball. As it is made of string wound tightly together, this was hard to chew, so the dog just swallowed it. What Dave found, was an enormous length of stringy poo hanging out of his dogs bottom. It was a knotty, bubbly kind of poo, where his bowel contents had clung to the string. It was metres and metres long and just trailed from the dogs bottom. The dog looked most unhappy. Dave knew better than to pull it out, so he rang the vet. The vet advised him not to make any attempt to extract it, but to just let nature take it's course. Over a few days the entire length of stringy poo came out, and the dog was no worse for wear.
