Not sure I ever cheered for a dog to poo before, but ....

YAYAYAYAYAYAYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYY

twisted bowel?

(fucking bone eating dogs, gah.. how do you say "chew twenty times before swallowing" in rotweiller anyhow?!)

I'm so glad Suede's OK.

I remember a horrible night of emergency vet visit and operations on one of the westis when he was a pup. Got himself into a half eaten bucket of KFC.

Fuckin chicken bones are the debbil*

*as bri would say.

"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.

Suede has gone to surgery I am not very optimistic

Pico and ME · 05-26-2011, 12:11 PM

Good Luck Suede!

Good luck, Suede! Hugs, Nirvana!

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

Nirvana · 05-26-2011, 12:24 PM

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

Nirvana · 05-26-2011, 12:25 PM

Thanks for your comments I am so sad

classicman · 05-26-2011, 12:26 PM

Awee - I'm hoping for the best.

Pete Zicato · 05-26-2011, 12:32 PM

I hope suede comes out ok.
