Vet Finds 24 Socks, 2 Hair Ties, a Onesie, and Other ‘Jaw-Dropping’ Items Inside Ailing 7-Month-Old Puppy

A dog in the Los Angeles area is recovering from extensive surgery after her veterinarian pulled 24 socks and half a dozen other items from her stomach.

According to an Instagram post from the Corona Animal Emergency Center, located 50 miles outside of Los Angeles in Corona, Calif., a 7-month-old Bernese mountain dog named Luna was rushed to the hospital after her owners noticed she was vomiting and had a “firm, distended abdomen.”

“What we found was jaw-dropping,” the hospital wrote, alongside x-ray photos of Luna’s stomach full of clothing, plus photos of her in recovery and a snap of a veterinarian, Dr. Jenny, posing with everything that was found in her stomach — including “24 socks, one scrunchie, two hair ties, one shoe insert, one small onesie (from her intestines!) and miscellaneous cloth pieces.”

The veterinary clinic confirmed that Luna had undergone a gastrotomy to clear her stomach and an enterotomy to remove the onesie, which was causing an intestinal obstruction.

“Against all odds, Luna pulled through and is now wagging her tail again!” the emergency center wrote on Instagram.

In its social media post about Luna’s ordeal, the Corona Animal Emergency Center warned pet parents to monitor their furry friends to prevent them from eating things they aren’t supposed to. According to the American Kennel Club, pet parents should take their pets to a vet if they experience frequent vomiting, stop eating, become lethargic, develop a rigid or swollen abdomen, ingest something they shouldn’t, or become disoriented.

“Luna’s story is a reminder to trust your instincts. If you notice vomiting, lethargy, or a firm abdomen, don’t wait — act fast and contact your vet. Prevention is key, but we’re here for emergencies 24/7,” the clinic wrote on Instagram.

“Thank you to Luna’s family for trusting us with her care, and to everyone who has followed her journey and sent love her way,” the Corona Animal Emergency Center added. “She’s one special pup, and we’re honored to have been part of her story. “
