Edith Ann had a rock removed last year. I had the same concerns you do, but she healed just fine. Her feeding was different for a few days, she got only prescription canned food, starting with one tablespoon every four hours, working up gradually over the course of a week to regular feeding. She recovered quickly, thank goodness, though I did set up my air mattress next to her crate for the first few nights. When it comes to the dogs, I'm a bit of a Nervous Nelly. And I never want to go through that again, so Edith is now muzzled when outside.
Did your vet have to remove any intestine or were they able to just remove the obstruction?
