In the last few weeks we have had two cases in quick succession where a cat and a dog swallowed a needle and thread. How do you even come up with the idea of eating a sewing needle? Unfortunately, the mistress couldn't prevent the accident, but she was with us very quickly. We were able to save both of them with gastric surgery (unfortunately nothing could be done endoscopically) and they were able to go home after three days. So please be careful - especially with young animals - do not leave anything alone or lose sight of anything. And if in doubt, if you don't know where something is, go to the vet immediately. Unfortunately, if the operation had not been carried out in time, the two little animals would have died.
