Watery woes

A pitbull escaped from home and was found a few days later to be anorexic, lethargic, and vomiting. The dog was immediately brought to our clinic, where radiographs were taken to try to see what it had consumed. Although the material was opaque, it obviously had taken over the dog's whole stomach. Crazy clue? After being doused with fluids, the patient was still very dehydrated. The pet owners approved an exploratory laparotomy, and lo and behold, the mystery was answered—water beads.
