2 weeks doesn't seam like a lot but it REALLY does make all the difference in the world. I know how hard it would be but would it at all be possible to get your deposit back and go to a regestered breeder? I have been in your situation and I whish I knew then what I do now, would have saved a lot of heart ache... Good luck with anything you decide, and stick a round DOL the people will offer you any help anytime you ask for

my oh my............ My condolences to all

I click each page and quiver, as I know what could be on the next...... I can not think of anything appropirate (sp) to say, except, God bless little angel.... *Goes of to cry in the bathroom*

I once was against crating I was nieve and be the first to admit it, Now I wouldnt have it any other way. My dog loves his crate and as long as he can see us, and hear us, he is quite happy to stay in there. Now he is a little older (10 months) we just say bed and thats it, off he troots to his crate..... Like you said he isnt barking just for the sake of barking, so he isn't really doing anything wrong...If he can't see the lights coming on outside then he isn't going to want to bark.. good luck ;)

so everything was ok?

cool fingers crossed

Do you know anything yet? How is he.....

Oh no I hope he is ok..... As far as kaos goes i'm not sure maybe if he has to stay at the vets who ever takes him askes for something for her, and can go straight home and give it to her. Not going to help untill she can have it but will be better in the long run if he needs to be admitted. keep us updated :rolleyes: Try not to worry to much, he will be ok......

How is he today?

Sure, you know the computer mouse, the older ones with the ball underneath? Well the next door neighbours threw it over the fence and he ate it :D was 3.5cm in diameter and he is only 9 months old sorry terrorbull ;)

Thanks cavNrott, he is home now and feeling very sorry for himself :D I have a pic but I dont want to deminish the importance of this thread ;) They had to do quite a large incission so poor bugger is cut from sternham to bellow his testicles (or where they would be)

Just reading your posts and it does sound VERY similar to how Dakota was last week, (9 month old SBT)....Unfortunatly he did havean obstruction in his intestines and had surgery on wednesday just gone :D I hope its not but its almost exactly how he was and he is such a happy little soul normally.....

bloody Hell, what a week you have had You must be a special lady, blessed with knowing and loving these beautiful animals

Hi, well I have spoken to the vets and they are saying that he will have to stay untill monday at the earliest He is doing well considering but he is still not interested in food what so ever so he has to stay untill he can eat with out vomiting and then to make sure his bowel and the likes is ok..... They are still saying that they dont want us to see him yet, but they will consider it for tomorrow afternoon, depending on how he is I will let you know how he goes, BUT I miss him terriably....

Vets seem to be so different in their approach to things. My vet encouraged me to come and see Dana as often as possible. I visited her three times a day whilst she was in hospital. They asked me to cook food for her and sit with her to encourage her to eat. She would eat nothing for them and she's a little guts of a dog. She would eat when I fed her the soup with chopped up chicken. Dana went into shock after the surgery and was very sick indeed. She had to have a fair amount of her bowel removed. The vets thought that when I was there she brightened up somewhat. Maybe your boy has to be kept very quiet. He was only done today so he would be fairly much out to it and on a drip. Sending him positive healing vibes and please keep us posted on his progress. I think it is because he is such a happly little soul and tends to bend at his waist A LOT when he wags his tail, that they don't want him to do it to forcefully The senior vet who admitted him to hospital is absloutly stunned by him and even told me to congratulate his breeder for him. He is just being a good boy sitting in the crate (good job he was used to it) watching the staff work :p When they leave tonight (the vet lives next door) they are going to give him a shot of pain killers so he should just sleep right through.
