There's a warning for pet owners. It sounds odd, but local veterinarians say it's an all-too-common problem involving dogs and glue.
A Lexington woman says her pet German Shepherd, "Judah," got into a bottle of "Gorilla Glue."
The dog ate some of the glue and it expanded in his stomach. Surgery was required to remove the cantaloupe-sized mass and save the dog's life.
Vets at Woodford Veterinary Clinic say this is the third case they've seen in six months and it's getting national attention in veterinary journals.
As for "Judah," the dog is recovering and should be back to normal in a couple of days.

@Respects animals Location: USA If you cant figure out that industrial strength glue that claims its stonger that crazy glue isnt something a living thing should ingest then you shouldnt even be on a computer. SHould I warn you that the stove is sometimes hot and not to play with fire as well, how about leaving plastic bags around babies or did your parents actually raise you? Ive a cat thats over 14 and a lizard that is over 13, I guess I must be doing something right huh?

News Flash: DOGS DON'T HAVE THUMBS!!! If you don't leave stuff where they can get to it, they won't! Pets are a responsibility, not a right. They're a privilege. Nowhere in the constitution does it say that we have to have pets. With that said, treat them as such and take care of them like a child!
