MsKatie Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 (edited) For those of you who have followed our tale of Earl and his riverstone fetish - we now have them fenced off and thought our days of emergency vet visits were behind us. Well - he showed all the signs of an obstruction again on Saturday morning so - back up to the vets we went -X ray showed an obstruction - not a riverstone this time. Looking at the placement and the size of the obstruction we - in consultation with the vet - put Earl on fluids and hoped it would make its way through the normal channels and out. After a bad night with many vomits and a very flat dog the vet opened him up this morning and found that one of the blood vessels had been twisted and 80 cm of his intestine had been deprived of blood and died. So this will have to be removed and the intestine re-attached. Prognosis is guarded and I am sitting at home trying to hold it together for the sake of the kids - so - anything you can send our way - please do. The doofus has driven us insane and cost us the price of a small car in vet bills but we are not ready to lose him. Hang in there big boy.
