We are always surprised by dogs.
To keep us from getting stuck, they always come up with new tricks to keep things interesting just when we think we have them figured out!
But one day, Stella, a chocolate Labrador, most likely went too far.
Although they had no idea what might be wrong, her owners sensed that she wasn’t feeling very well. They were startled to learn what this furry princess had in store for them when they finally made the decision to take her to an animal clinic!
Wait, Is That What I Think It Is?
For her owners, the news that Stella was ill was already distressing. She had never before shown any symptoms of illness, thus her sudden feeling poorly was a surprise.
Stella was at the Cochrane Animal Clinic waiting for her x-rays in a matter of hours since her owners didn’t want to wait.
Her owners were anxious about the potential outcomes and had no idea what Stella’s X-rays would show. Then they received some startling news!
Given how unusual this lab’s condition was, the veterinary staff was skeptical.
They initially doubted their presumptions and found it difficult to trust.
How did this occur? Is this authentic?
The inquiries simply kept coming up.
Finally, their suspicions were validated! This stupid Lab girl had eaten—wait for it—eight pairs of panties, which is why she hadn’t been feeling like herself lately.
In an Instagram post, the Clinic asked, “Oh Stella, what have you gotten yourself into?”
Yes, exactly! She ate eight complete pieces of underwear by accident, which made her feel ill, rather than just one.
The good news is that everything was resolved with standard surgery, and Stella quickly returned home.
Stella’s x-ray clinic video quickly went viral on Instagram, sparking thousands of amusing comments!
How they devour whole socks and underpants is beyond me! One user stated, “In the meantime, you try to give them a pill with treats and they are able to spit out just the pill.”
The vet bill was $2000, and the cost of replacing the underwear was $150000.
Dogs Chewing On Underwear Is Not Uncommon
Even though Stella’s predicament may appear humorous, dogs chewing on their underwear can occasionally be a sign of a serious problem.
The American Kennel Club states that a dog’s teething period is usually when this kind of behavior first appears. If not, the cause may be attributed to underlying physical conditions including anxiety, stress, or even compulsive disorder.
However, boredom is the most frequent cause of dogs chewing on underwear—or any kind of clothes, for that matter. For clever dog breeds in particular, mental stimulation is as vital as physical activity.
Put another way, you should give your dog lots of mental stimulation to keep them from gnawing on your underwear.
I hope Stella’s pawrents would watch their girl closely, especially while she’s close to their wardrobe!
