so sorry :( hugs and more hugs.......at times it seems that some vets take advantage of "us" when it comes to our babies........they know we love them and care so much that we will do anything for them, this really PMO ......hope Linus heals quickly ...thinking about you!

I don't know how you stayed so calm I would've went all ghetto hood on the vet and told them to kiss my back side if they thought I was paying for ANYTHING considering the danger they put Linus. I'm sorry you guys have had to endure all of this. Poor baby Linus. You guys are in my thoughts and prayers and Tubby sends you lots of hugs and sloppy kisses and of course butt wiggles

Karen, I'm so sorry that you and Linus have had to go through this. My Mack had a piece of a humunga tongue in his colon for over a year, before it showed up on xrays. He ended up losing several inches of his colon. Please keep us updated.

Poor Linus, geez. You putting on there that you laid down in the doggie bed to be with him and trying not to cry is heartbreaking and makes me want to cry. I would have gone insane if they cut up my baby for nothing too!! I sincerely hope and pray that Linus get better quickly.

Karen, I've been interviewing like crazy these past few days and missed all of this until now. I am SO sorry that you and Linus had to go through this. How is he today? How are YOU today?

Karen that's just horrible what Linus had to go through but you guys surely didn't know. I would have been so livid and crushed as you are. When we're in these types of situations we do what we think is the BEST for our guys at that time. You're vet is to blame in my opinion.

How is Linus doing today? Have you had any more discussions with that vet or another? :hug: to you both.

WOW, just wow. Poor guy. How's he feeling today?
I would of been livid too. Such an unnecessary procedure for him to have gone through. So the vet thought the grass and rice she saw on the X-ray was blockage??? That sounds crazy to me!

Linus is doing much better but definitely not himself still. He is more comfortable when he walks but nothing like his normal bouncy self!! We are now allowed to cut him down from 6 meals a day to 4 times a day over the weekend. I still daren't give him kibble because I'm worried about how dry kibble would expand in his tummy so he is on fully home cooked. He's not arguing about that!!!
[MENTION=4225]Twice[/MENTION] is there any foods I could give him with excellent healing properties. I worry about his tummy being cut open, his intestines being cut open as well as his skin to get to those internal organs. I need all these wounds to heal as quickly inside and outside!! :*(

Karen I hope you can get some snuggle time in with Linus now that the weekend is finally here, that's the best healing. I am so sorry for everything you have had to go through this week. Take care.
