KATY, Texas -- A Texas grandfather says a dead rodent was found inside his young grandson's bottle of Dr. Pepper.
Floating in the half-empty 20-ounce bottle of Dr. Pepper was some sort of rodent -- with beady eyes, small ears and a tail.
John Graves, of Katy, said his three-year-old grandson, Kayden, drank the Dr. Pepper on Sunday, May 8th after they bought it in Galveston.
The boy didn't finish the soda, so they put the cap back on.
"When they opened it they found something floating in there," Graves said. "Pretty good size. About three inches long with a big tail. You think it's rabies. You think of dirty, filthy rodents. What did he ingest?"
Graves told KPRC that he called a pediatrician and took his grandson in for some tests.
"They did blood and urine samples, contacted the state of Texas and the CDC," Graves said.
The family says they also contacted Dr. Pepper.
The company told them to send in the bottle so they can run some tests.
However, Graves says he wants to have his own testing done before he hands the bottle over.
