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.

Oh no, I can totally sympathize since we just went through this. Sending lots of drool and lots of hugs your way!!

 

[Twinkie's Mum]

Oh, Lynne! Prayers and pawsies crossed for Huck. Hopefully things will work themselves out naturally, without any surgical intervention. I've been giving Twinkie lamb bones lately, too.

Cootersmom ... how's he doing?

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 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.....
