Honorable Mention

A gluttonous puppy

Puppy found his bag of dog food and didn't stop eating until the owners found him. Presented with a distended abdomen but bright and alert. Upon examination, the patient kept vomiting large amounts of food, eating it, vomiting it again, and repeatedly eating it. Nurses were unable to remove the vomit as the patient was extremely fast at eating it. Inducing emesis was not an option, so the patient was hospitalized to ensure NPO and allow the stomach to digest the accidental food bolus. Discharged in the morning.
