Our regular vet, the one who did his first surgery, does not do emergencies on the weekends. We finally got hold of a vet who does emergencies on the weekends, who works out of her farm. A very nice lady vet, so off we went.
Bogie threw up on the way there, and when we arrived she quickly checked him over, checked tummy, temp, took stool sample, and x-rayed. Lots of bacteria swimming in the stool sample and YEP!!! There set an object in his intestines. She gave him a laxative, hoping he could pass the object, and we sadly left him around 3:30, knowing he might have to have surgery. She called at 5:00, said he was going downhill, more throwing up, and was going to do the surgery.
She called us back around 8 last night, Bogie made it through the surgery OK. And yes, it was a piece of rock with some concrete stuck to it. We are waiting now to hear how he is doing this morning. So if there is any extra healing drool our there send some Bogie's way.
