Wilson goes fishing!

Wilson came to see us with the fishing line coming out his mouth. An x-ray was taken and the fish hook was found just inside the stomach. We performed abdominal surgery on Wilson to remove the offending fishing hook and line.

The next day Wilson was discharged from hospital, tail still wagging. He is now back to full health and will hopefully remember not to eat the bait next time!
