This Wiener Dog Turned Into More Of A 'Sausage' Due To A Medical Issue

As a food site, we usually write about a different kind of hot dog, but frankly (see what we did there?) we simply could not stop talking about this wiener dog and his issues: Trevor, a 4-year-old dachshund from the U.K., swelled up like a sausage thanks to a rare medical condition.

Trevor's owner, a Cheshire woman named Fran Jennings, said via a press release from the Willows Veterinary Group, which treated the puffed-up pup, that at first, they had no idea what had happened to their beloved Hebrew National-bodied friend. The 49-year-old mother of three said, "We came down and found Trevor in a bad state, he literally looked like he'd blown up like a balloon and we had no idea what had happened."

"He looked like a big fat seal. His whole body was like a blob," added Jennings' daughter Jessica.

It was revealed that Trevor had sub-cutaneous emphysema, a hole in his windpipe that was trapping air under his skin, causing him to bloat at an alarming rate. Veterinarian Michelle Coward of Willows Veterinary Group, said she'd never seen anything like it.

If your pup is puffing up for other reasons, maybe it's time to consider putting them on a diet.
