Emmitt's in surgery :(

[Bella'sMom]

We go to the same Vet, I was told it was a raw hide. Poor little guy, I hope he recovers fully. I was worried it was one of his little sister's Barbie heads.

oh my.. hopefully no residual effects.. keep us updated on how he is doing.

soo glad he is better, was nervous scrolling through the thread reading all the posts until I saw the one said he was ok!!

Weeeeeeeeell, I & the Dukemeister send our positive energy your way. Hopefully all is all right. What I can't understand is why the vet didn't induce a laxative? Once I thought Duke swallowed my hearing aid.......He ate a plastic bottle cap..........but........several x-rays and.......an induced laxative.......he was cleaned out and so was my wallet.......You gotta love them. The hearing aid showed up in the car a day later.

So glad to hear he's ok!!!

 

[Emmitt E]

Thanks guys!

I assume the bone was the pug's. We always watch Emmitt when we give him a bone. We hadn't given him one in about 4 days. I think the pug had it hidden and Emmitt found it. No worries. All the rawhide bones are out of the house.

The laxative wouldn't have worked b/c the top of his esophagus was corked shut. Nothing was getting in or out.

On the final xray there was still something sitting in his stomach that she thinks will pass. Who knows what that is? Good gracious.

He's happy and acting normal and taking his medicine like a champ.

So glad to hear he is ok! So scary! I know how you feel when Samson swallowed a squecky toy earlier this year, it was a terrible experience. Everyone be careful, it's amazing what these bullys can and will eat and swallow!

Oh my gosh that brought tears to my eyes. I agree an angel was with you for sure! Hugs to you and Emmitt.

[Momma2Bullet]

wow, just now seeing this. how wonderful that your hubby was home! so thankful he is better now. this made me throw away one lingering rawhide that my lab has had and i placed it up on a shelf when we brought Bullet home.

 

[laurendoodler]

Oh no!! So sorry to hear this. It's so upsetting when our babies are sick.

I'll be keeping you and little Emmitt in my thoughts. Keep us updated please!

Good to hear good news

 

[BethandOzzie]

Sorry to hear this.
Glad he's on his way to a full recovery!

Glad to hear he's doing better! I am amazed by what they can swallow. I have a friend who adopted a French Bulldog from a family who also has two English Bulldogs (apparently the Frenchie was not getting along AT ALL with the EBs so they had to give him up). One of those EBs swallows tennis balls!!! WHOLE! I almost had a heart attack when I heard it. Chunk plays with an oversized tennis ball now (a Kong version). Even though he was always protective of his regular tennis balls, I decided this was safer. Plus it is the only toy he has ever picked out at a store.
