Lenny is in surgery
-
well its been 5 days since Lenny has not eaten anything on his own and my efforts to keep him hydrated and fed on baby food have helped, but he still has something in his stomach. The vet could feel it with her hand today and said that since its already been 5 days, and she can feel it, may as well go in and take it out. That way she can check his whole digestive tract for anything else that could cause a problem… had we done that last time maybe we wouldn't be here again now....
poor little guy

Poor Lenny. Here's to hoping he'll have a speedy recovery. (And stop eating what he shouldn't!)

Hey Everyone,
Thanks for the good thoughts. we went to visit Lenny at the vet today. he came through his surgery just fine and they also took care of his umbilical hernia while they were at it. they removed a big piece of rubber from his small intestine… about the size of a silver dollar. yuck. they said it was lodged and would not have passed on its own so its good they went in to get it. it must have been left over from whatever he ate that got him sick a month ago, cause it was the same thing... some kind of rubber thing. dont know where it came from. frusterating...
hopefully we can bring him home tomorrow!

I'm glad to hear that Lenny is doing so much better. Why do these dogs eat what they do!!??
