Emergency of the Week - Chester McPherson
October 9, 2024 · Dogs

Chester, a 6 and a half year old Bernedoodle came to Mountainside after getting a fish hook stuck in his tongue! His owners had not witnessed him ingesting any foreign materials, but inspected his mouth when they noticed that he was excessively drooling.
Once they realized what happened, they brought Chester to Mountainside Animal Emergency. Chester was given a mild sedation so that the hook could be safely removed. He also had some x-rays taken that assured us he hadn't eaten any other silly things!
He went home with some antibiotics and ongoing pain relief after his ordeal, but is now back to being a happy healthy boy! Hopefully he has learned his lesson.
