What possessed Bertie, at 19 years of age, to change the habits of a lifetime and consume some glass nobody will ever know, but luckily his owner was at hand and observed this.

She quickly rushed him in to the surgery, where radiographs confirmed the presence of 3 pieces of glass in his stomach. Despite worries over his age Bertie underwent an exploratory laparotomy under general anaesthesia to locate and remove the glass.

We are delighted to report that Bertie is doing really well and has bounced back to health!
