I will ask in the morning if that is a possibility. I have already grilled them about their bulldog capabilities. They assured me that they deal with bullies all the time and are experienced with intubation and extubation on them if it should come to that. They also said that the anesthesia is bulldog friendly. Hopefully it wont come to that though.


He Rosalie.... just checking in for an update? How did he do overnight?

She posted on FB that it's not an obstruction. They're trying to find out why his adrenal glands are swollen, so her regular vet is going to test for Cushings.
They don't think it's that either, just want to rule it out.

Hi everyone, sorry so late updating. No obstuction was found on ultrasound. Thank goodness. He does have one enlarged lymph node and mildly enlarged adrenal glands. They said the adrenals could very well be baseline for him, but my vet is going to rule out cushings disease anyway just to sure. The lymph node could be whatever "virus" he has going on. He is home resting. He is on two meds for his tummy and a bland diet for 5 days. I have to watch him for any vomiting or diarreah but so far he has had breakfast at the ER and boiled sirlion and rice here without incident. I have said this before, but I dont know what I would do without you guys. You got me through last night and I really appreciate everyone of you guys!!

Thanks for the update.
Hoping it's just a short lived virus and will resolve itself. Fingers crossed.

Give him and big hug and kiss from me and my boys.

Glad Frankie is home. Hoping for a quick recovery.
[MENTION=2894]2BullyMama[/MENTION] I wonder if this is the same crap Banks had earlier and is making the rounds here in the Northeast. Although I do not recall the swollen glands on Banksie.

Glad he's home and doing okay so far, so glad it wasn't an obstruction. Continued prayers heading his way for continued improvement :grouphug:

Thank goodness… I'm so glad to hear that Frankie is home. [MENTION=2894]2BullyMama[/MENTION] do you think that some dog virus is making the rounds?!! Sure sounds familiar...
