Hi! My first time posting here. Our family is a little sad today because our basset is having surgery to remove a small ball from his intestines. He hasn't been his self since Friday. I was thinking he may have had an upset stomach but he still didn't perk up Sat. or today. We brought him to the vet to check him out and the x-ray shows there is a small ball in his intestines. We have 3 kids who try to help us keep the toys picked up and we keep watch for stuff like this on the floor so we can keep it away from Fred (who loves to throw them around and play with them). Obviously one was missed either inside the house or outside some time and he found it. The vet said it could have been in his stomach for a while or it could have happened recently. He is still in good spirits and was so happy to go for a ride until he saw the vets office then he decided he was okay and that we could go home again. He is such a trooper! Soon he will be good again and harassing the chipmunks in the yard. No more little rubber balls for our house anymore, sorry kids. Please keep Fred in your thoughts until he is out of surgery. Thanks for listening.
