A family's beloved pet labrador underwent emergency surgery amid fears he had a deadly tumour but doctors discovered something far less harmful in his stomach. The veterinarians found that Monty was weak, pale in the gums, had an enlarged abdomen and was anaemic from his so-called mystery illness. Monty's owners chose to progress with an endoscope procedure when the veterinarians found a foreign body in his stomach. 'The next morning Monty went in for surgery where we found not one, not two, not three but four socks in his stomach,' the clinic said. Monty made a full recovery in 24 hours and was sent home to the relief of his owners.
