A man has forked out over £200 to cure his dog's trapped wind.
Windy dog
Stuart Weir, 52, feared his Yorkshire Terrier Alf was suffering from a severe illness when his pet pooch's stomach ''blew up like a balloon'', and decided to take his four legged friend to the vet's to get an X-ray to rule out any major problems.
But when his pet lay down on the examining table he let out an almighty bottom burp and was cured, but his owner was left feeling hard done by and thinks it was the ''most expensive fart on record.''
Speaking to The Daily Post Online, Stuart said: ''It was around 10.30pm at night that Alf started acting funny, his stomach blew up like a balloon.
''I went on the internet to see what it could be and read that it could be a potentially fatal stomach twist so I called the vet out of hours.
''The vet agreed to come out and meet me.
''She told me a twisted stomach is unusual and only really happens with larger dogs, but said she would X-ray him, however in order to do so, a nurse would have to be present.
''A little while later, the vet called me in and I was hit by a terrible smell.
''She told me that as Alf had been lying down ready for his X-ray, he let out a terrible fart, he deflated somewhat as a result.
''It turned out to be the most expensive fart on record.''
