Vet finds 62 hair bands, 8 pairs of underwear inside Labrador retriever during surgery
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}This hungry Labrador has some unusual taste buds.
A Pennsylvania veterinarian says she retrieved 62 hair bands, eight pairs of underwear and a bandage from the dog's stomach during exploratory surgery.
The head technician at Good Shepherd's Veterinary Hospital in Mars tells WTAE-TV (http://bit.ly/1HkK2Th) that the black Lab named Tiki wasn't responding to medicine for vomiting, diarrhea and a loss of appetite, and X-rays showed a mass in its stomach.

The dog's owner, Sara Weiss, says Tiki once swallowed a plastic foam dart, but that passed through the dog's system naturally.
