MolassesLass Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 One of my pups is at the vets about to have an operation to remove a blockage in the digestive system. His owners called me last night reporting that he was not eating and had vomited. When he hadn't picked up this morning, he went straight to the vets who could feel the lump externally. They waited for the day to see if it was moving but it's not. A pretty routine operation but I'd love good thoughts and for everyone to think really hard that the blockage is easy to get to so that the cost stays low (quote of $1000 - $2000 ).

Staffyluv Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Hope the little one gets through it OK - that sounds about right for a blockage removal. Good wishes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheyenne_Fury Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Sorry to hear that one of your pups isn't well ML hopefully its just a simple operation and the pup will be up and about as quickly as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krankypuss Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 That's terrible! Poor little man And his people too, they must have almost needed intensive care themselves after seeing the bill Here's hoping to a swift recovery for him (and no more "snacks" ) hugs from the Krankys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missymoo Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 How is he doing? Getting better vibes coming from here! xo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MolassesLass Posted December 22, 2008 Author Share Posted December 22, 2008 Operation went well and he should be fine. He's got a narly scar, cut from sternum to whizzer. The offender? A knot from a rope toy, about the size of a ping-pong ball. Rope toys are banned from now on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbbb Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 (edited) Nasty! Mine dont like rope toys, but I have rescued a few rocks from Rumour's mouth... Glad to hear that the little guy is okay.

Guest belgian.blue Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Ouchy. Ivy has one of those rope toys but hardly plays with it. But then again she doesn't chew her toys up! Glad he made it through!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quickasyoucan Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 We had two lots of welsh springers who ate socks when they were young had had to have an op, one belonging to us one to my cousins. Both went on to live long lives! Needless to say Mum and Dad have taken pet insurance out for subsequent springers! A lab down my dog park ate a whole nappy a couple of weeks ago, but amazingly it came out whole the other end! Glad it wasn't my dog! Glad the pups op went okay too!

becks Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 Glad he is doing OK. One of mine had the same op and was spayed at the same time, total cost including a weekend in the vets was just under £500 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
