Pica

In the past few months, Clancy has shown a determined interest to ingest inedible objects
1 Tissues
2 Paper towels
3 Stones of all shapes and sizes
4 Twist ties! (Close one.)
5 Steel wool!! (Pulled out of his throat.)
6 A fishing lure with two treble hooks!!! (Pulled it out of his mouth.)

Today, while on a walk, he removed a sock from a neighbor's sneaker. Swallowed it with determination but no relish.

Two hours later, a local vet put some medication in his (Clancy's) eye to induce vomiting. Out came the correct sock.



Nicely clean matching sock, held by nice neighbor.






Neighbor sock after Clancy treatment.





Crisis over...for now.

We have given Clancy a middle name: "Hoover."

Still taking offers on a one year old Australian Terrier. Nick name - "Hoover." We will pay shipping. Actually, we will pay you to take him.
