<p>A dog needed emergency surgery after vets discovered she had swallowed a rubber duck, a charity revealed.</p>
<p>Jasmine&#8217;s owners first realised something was up when the Staffordshire Bull Terrier, from Johnstone, Renfrewshire, suddenly became ill.</p>
<p>Investigations showed the seven-year-old had spent nine months with the bath toy inside her stomach before it shifted and created a near-fatal blockage.</p>
<p>Vets at the PDSA in Glasgow, who examined the pet, rushed her straight into surgery to remove the object and she has now made a good recovery.</p>
<p>The incident was named in the charity&#8217;s list of the top ten most dramatic cases it handled this year.</p>
<p>Another Scottish case to feature in the &#8220;Top of the Ops&#8221; countdown was that of curious kitten Garfield, who survived a 120ft plunge from a tower block window.</p>
<p>The eight-month-old cat squeezed through a gap in the 12th-storey window and fell to the ground below in Parkhead, Glasgow. He escaped with a collapsed lung and a broken front right leg.</p>
<p>Senior veterinary surgeon Sean Wensley said: &#8220;Pets can be remarkably resilient and some of our patients this year have survived terrifying ordeals. It&#8217;s testament to the great work of our veterinary teams and the animals&#8217; often extraordinary capacity for healing.</p>
<p>&#8220;Without PDSA&#8217;s help many owners would be unable to afford veterinary treatment for their much-loved companions. Our work is vitally important to the pets and their owners that rely on our services.&#8221;</p>
<p>The PDSA said there has been an &#8220;unprecedented surge in demand&#8221; for their services recently, having seen a 50% increase in pet patients over the five-year period from 2006 to 2010.</p>
