Overview
- An X-ray at Teme Veterinary Practice in Ludlow, Shropshire confirmed a 1.5in (39mm) blade lodged in the puppy's stomach.
- The team performed emergency surgery, and Charlie went home the same day with no reported complications.
- Nursing staff later said he was back to his usual playful behavior during a follow-up check.
- Owner Richard Johnson said the puppy retrieved the blade from a bathroom bin while searching for a discarded sandwich.
- The blade's plastic cover was still on, the owner noted, and the clinic shared the case on Facebook to urge pet-proofing and safer trash disposal.
