The black lab named Tiki was vomiting, having diarrhea and had lost her appetite, according to BarkPost. Medicine didn't seem to work and a scan showed an unusual mass in her stomach so surgery was performed at Good Shepherd's Veterinary Hospital.

Dr. Hisham Ibrahim made the shocking discovery during the two-hour surgery.  

Tiki is recovering well from the operation. Her owner, Sarah Weiss, says Tiki has a taste for non-food items and once swallowed a nerf dart.
