In a small town, Victoria Northwood enjoyed the contagious joy of her adorable dog, Ham, a Pug mix full of energy and mischief. However, recently, Victoria began to notice something wrong with her furry companion.

Concerned, she did not hesitate to seek professional help, calling the veterinarian.

The doctor initially did not identify anything serious but suggested that Ham be taken to the clinic for a more detailed evaluation, as a precaution.

Without imagining what she was about to discover, Victoria followed the instructions, taking Ham to the Newtone Clarke Veterinary Surgery.

Upon arrival, Ham was immediately subjected to an X-ray, revealing something unexpected inside his stomach.

The veterinarian, cautious, preferred not to alarm Victoria immediately, but knew that surgery would be necessary.

Thus, Emily Whitby, a veterinary surgeon, took on the case and conducted the operation successfully.

However, what was found inside Ham left everyone perplexed: about 50 to 60 hair ties were removed from his stomach, totaling almost 7 ounces in weight.

The impact of the discovery left Victoria stunned.

Although she knew that Ham had ingested some hair ties, she had never imagined the surprising amount they found.

The successful surgery brought relief, but the shock remained at what the adorable dog had ingested.

After a brief recovery period at the clinic, Ham was allowed to return home.

Victoria expressed her gratitude to the veterinarians for their attention and care, promising to be more vigilant to avoid similar incidents in the future.

Ham’s story is a reminder of the unconditional love we have for our pets and the importance of being attentive to warning signs.

Despite the scare, the happy ending brought relief and gratitude, reinforcing the special bond between Ham and his dedicated mother, Victoria.

Together, they now face the future with even more care and love.
