How Many Pacifiers can a Dog Swallow? Try 15

Veterinarians in Missouri who noticed a unusual gray area in an X-Ray of a dog’s stomach and operated had an interesting surprise: 15 pacifiers, a bottle cap and a piece of a basketball.

2 year old Bulldog Lulu’s owners David and Jennifer Swart said their 18-month-old daughter’s pacifiers kept disappearing and they kept buying more.

According to reports, when Lulu showed an interest in the pacifiers, they took her to the vet, who then made the discovert.

The vets saved the pacifiers, but unfortunately they were reusable as they’d turned black from Lulu’s stomach acid. The $808 surgery cost was covered by Veterinary Pet Insurance.
