Rare condition inflates Trevor the sausage dog to three times his normal size. Pics and vid at the link. I've never heard of such a thing, I had a goldfish that inflated but never a dog.

I read about the condition a few months ago. Hedgehogs, I think, were especially prone to it; even before the bonfire is lit!

Exploding hedgehogs?

The dog is a new one on me. The poor pooch looked like it was being reflected in a spoon.
