A top vet has told dog owners to stop throwing sticks for their pets after a rise in the number experiencing 鈥渉orrific injuries鈥�.

The President of the British Veterinary Association in Scotland gave the advice after a collie dog was badly injured when a 10cm wooden stick got stuck in her throat.

鈥淥ur colleagues in practice are seeing probably around one stick related injury a month, others in referral centres more than that,鈥� said Sean Wensley, president of the British Veterinary association.

Mr Wensely also said dogs have been euthanised because of their injuries or 鈥渕ore commonly鈥� died from a fatal infection caused by fragments of wood or bacteria on the stick.
