YAY! My dog has crapped!
This must have been prophetic! Ok vet update they were going to start the surgery when my dog had a bowel movement from the enemas they gave earlier. He is crapping bone pieces and junk. They are continuing to give him enemas and walking him around. They will keep him over night. This seems like better news better than surgery. Surgery comes with peritonitis risks.

NOT SAFE FOR DINNER
"twisted bowel"
I think 6 years of eating squirrel and raccoon. He has a "bone nest" in there. I just got back from the vet > I went to give him some slippery elm bolus' so that in the morning we are hoping for a smooth move. My vets are not opposed to my herbal remedies thankfully. They are doing enemas at the other end. Surgery is still on the table unless we have more movement by morning. Fingers and toes crossed POOOOOOOP! Thanks for the ah encouragement.

Is it a twisted bowel? Is that the current diagnosis?

Twisted bowel is a medical emergency, Suede has obstruction. Canine intestine is about 3 feet he has about 10 inches of obstruction, so resection is out of the question. So if any of his tissue is necrotic or irreparable he will be euthanized
