Huckleberry Needs Your Drool!
G
Last night Huck vomited in the middle of the nite (my husband said as I didn't wake up). This morning I found it and it was just bile with a lot of grass in it. But all day today he was acting strange - pacing, stretching, couldn't get comfortable laying or sitting down, yawning and licking his lips. ate but wouldn't drink any water and wasn't pooping. Something was wrong and I just knew it. I was really afraid of bloat so I took him into the emergency vet hospital where they took xrays (after he threw up all his dinner in the lobby) and they thought that they saw a small obstruction in his intestine. He's also full of food and gas. It's my fault as I gave both he and Grace a small lamb bone last night. So they are keeping him tonite, filling him full of IV fluids, Gas X & other meds, blood work, more xrays in hopes that he'll pass the obstruction. If he doesn't pass it he'll need surgery. I feel awful - and scared. He looked so pitiful as I left him there with his blankie. Any and all drool will be greatly appreciated.

Ohhh Huck, get well fast Buddy! Lynne won't be able to sleep without you to keep her feet warm under the covers.
Lynne, I sure hope it's not going to require surgery, and Huck gets better on his own. He's one of the sweetest, cuddliest basset's I've ever met, hate to think of him sick.
Duke and Bo are slinging drool over the mountains, and right to Huck! Will be waiting to here how he is in the morning.

I'm so sorry! I know you must be worried sick about sweet Huck. Drool times 3 headed your way.
Oh Dear!!Poor Huck 
Hope the obstruction passes and that Handsome Huck doesn't need surgery. Thank goodness you got him there when you did and didn't just leave it a day to see how he was.

Oh, how awful! I went through this with Murray a couple of years ago and we were lucky, he did pass his obstruction, but I was in a panic- please keep us posted!
Lots of drool for Huck! We all hope that the obstruction passes with no problems. We're also glad that you got him to the vet so quickly.
I am so glad that we have emergency vets, but I'd like to know why our houndies wait to have problems til we have to use them.....
