I am so happy for you and your pup . Give him a nice head scratch for me and an extra treat or two . Just fantastic news . Is he normally a chewer ? I would think that is odd for a senior dog . Enjoy your weekend .

Great news! Ryker and Mina (AKA Ms Piggy) send their best wishes for a speedy recovery.http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1657321564.jpg

Much hugs and tail wags for your best friend! And prayers from me.

Great news Matt! Odd that he’s still a chewer at that age.

I’ve had a few $5k plus pets, but boy are they worth every penny. Rest easy this weekend and snuggle the pup!

was almost afraid to click...glad I did! :)

Me too. I thought it was a thread about the guy who shot the Japanese ex Prime Minister.

When my poodle Zora was a year or two old, she ate something that messed her up, so the vet recommended opening her up. The problem was, if you let it go, it could turn fatal if the object damaged her insides. It went well and she healed up quickly.

Turns out the object on the x-ray was a smooth rock, which actually passed into her colon with the anesthesia and would have passed naturally. I kept it as a souvenir:

A friend's dog stopped eating etc. They found something strange on the ultrasound. On cutting him open they found he had eaten part of a corn cob, which some some strange reason didn't dissolve in his stomach acids. Who would have thought.

With great trepidation I clicked on this thread again...

Made my day already..
simply awesome!

Moka and KC both say WOOF :)!

Hooray! Good news story of the week.

KC has been improving since his surgery. He is eating canned dog food that I mash a bit with a fork so it is easier to digest. He is alert and gets up on the couch (his favorite place) by himself. He has a good bit of meds to take for pain and antibiotic purposes, but he gobbles those right down in his food. He is up to almost a quarter can every 2 hours. The vet said small amounts, more frequently are good. His temp is down to 100.7. He is recovering quite nicely !

I just finished cleaning the knotted clothesline that was in his gut. I also soaked it in bleach to kill anything. I will enclose a photo later.

good to hear!

As promised, here is the white cotton clothesline complete with knots removed from KC.

Wow, holy moly, that's a lot of clothesline, and looks like a big knot on the top right.

well you certainly didn't leave her "hanging out to dry". good dogs deserve good people. great news here.

Whoa!

No wonder he wasn't eating with that big hunk of crap inside of him.

Thanks for your caring, Matt. Please give KC a hug or 5 from Baz.....

Man I can't imagine that stuck in his gut !!! Glad he's on the road to recovery .
