A dog in the US had a "ruff time" after mistaking water beads for treats.

In a TikTok video uploaded by a US veterinary technician on Wednesday (Oct 9), a dog is seen spraying colourful beads from its rear.

According to the woman, who works at Animal Urgent Care Arvada in Colorado, the dog had mistaken a bag of water beads for dog treats and emptied the whole bag.

Water beads are small, colourful spherical toys made from super-absorbent polymer and can expand to the size of a $1 coin over a few hours upon being hydrated.

The beads the dog ate expanded in its stomach and caused indigestion. 

In another video, the woman posted the dog's X-ray scans, which showed the water beads inside its digestive tract.
