Jeff's back in hospital

[JeffandAnnie]

Just as he's just about recovered from his dislocated hip, Jeff has got himself back in hospital  This time he's got a blockage. We had a bbq yesterday and couldn't keep a close eye on him, and he has eaten something hard and nobbly (according to the vet). That's presumably on top of the kebab (and part stick) he pinched off Phil's plate and two beefburgers. He started looking very sorry for himself late afternoon and by the time we went to bed was unable to lay down and settle. I stayed awake worrying while he fidgeted and wimpered, and at 4am eventually gave up and phoned the vet. We took him to the hospital straight away and the vet confirmed he had eaten something. They xrayed him a couple of hours ago a found a "mass". They are now operating to remove it. Fortunately because I acted quickly he's in pretty good shape (still perky and well hydrated), so the outcome should be good, but it's a serious operation and I'm desparately worried about little tyke

Well done you for acting so quickly - and all fingers and paws crossed for a good outcome for Jeff - cannot believe the run of bad luck he is having .....  These dogs, as natural scavengers, certainly give us the runaround sometimes don't they?
Will be thinking of you and Jeff and will wait with bated breath to hear of outcome.
Hugs to you - an anxious time waiting when you feel it is all out of your hands

Hope the op goes well and he's back home soon

Bloomin' dogs!

Oh no what a naughty boy eating all that! Lots of positive thoughts for Jeff today 

[JeffandAnnie]

  Vet has called and the op went well. He had not only eaten the kebab but the stick it was on! There was a 4-6 inch kebab stick in his tummy  The vet has kept it for us. While he was under they also castrated him (at our request as he'd only need another GA in a few weeks time otherwise) and had to make 2 incisions as one of his testicles hadn't dropped, and they also found a little hernia which they fixed. So poor little chopped-up puppy is feeling rather sorry for himself. Hopefully he'll be home tomorrow.

Gosh, he has certainly had a surgical work-over - poor Jeff - but brilliant news that it went well.
Hope you manage to get to see him later? - and lots of tlc over the next few days once he is home.
