Dog to make full recovery after eating 2 lbs. of rocks

A dog with an abnormal appetite that left the pooch with "rock hard abs" underwent emergency surgery at BluePearl Veterinary hospital in Eden Prairie, Minn., on Wednesday to remove 16 rocks weighing almost 2 lbs.

The 7-year-old golden retriever named Gordon likely ate river rocks out of a garden, but the dog's owner was perplexed by the pooch's stony meal since food is always accessible.

Dr. Jeff Yu performed the successful two-hour operation.

"You don't see too many dogs eat this many rocks usually," Yu remarked. "Most dogs will stop after one or two, but Gordon certainly had quite the hankering."

7 years old, and Fido is still gulping down rocks? Some adult animals are as sweet as can be, but a little low on natural intelligence. This could also be the sign of ‘nervous eating’ that comes from boredom, or ongoing hunger. Careful though, when a dog gets that hungry, he may eat anything, even ‘body waste’. Most dog owners know what I mean. It’s rarely acknowledged outside the Vet’s Office because its so gross, but they are animals.

In humans, the eating of non-food items is called pica and is often a sign of a mineral deficiency or hookworm infestation.

I had a Golden Retriever that would gobble my other dog’s droppings before they hit the ground.
