That is call him Catfish
Ha! Damn you auto-correct.
Not eating or drinking water

Surgery went well, even the vet is unsure what the object was after she got it out. He's currently in recovery, not entirely out of the woods yet. The intestines had not ruptured but maybe was damaged. He will spend at least another night and day in hospital for observation.
-
So far so good…I will pray for his swift recovery and for you and your husband to keep you calm..
So is it something he "found" and swallowed? Scary.. -

Great news… and I had the same experience with what they found in Kristii... none of us have ever figured out what it was... but you know it could have been in there for years.... and over time with stomach acid and stuff can really change it to make it hard or impossible to determine. Kristii's looked like a piece of steel wool, like what I used 100 years ago, SOS pads...ggg .... good news she recovered just fine.... hugs and good thoughts coming your way.

So very happy all is well please get some rest.

(((HUGS))) I'll keep him my thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery.

I'm so relieved that a reason has been found and now hopefully Cody will be on the up and soon recovering totally..
My Basenjis send loving and healing to Cody. -
Hope Cody is feeling much better soon.
-
Glad you found the problem and hoping for a speedy recovery!

Thanks everyone for the great support for me and Cody. Went to see him after work yesterday. He was still groggy but he recognized me and wanted to go home with me. He whined a little as I left. :(. Called the vet this morning and she said he did really good last night, and very alert today. They are going to ween him off his IV pain meds/fluids and will see if he will eat today. If he eats and keeps it down he will come home today. My girl basenji is totally lost without her little brother. She's very depressed.
-
Yes all is well that is GREAT NEWS…............. Hope Cody gets to come home today and you may have to take his sister out for some ice cream to lift her spirts. Going to have to have welcome home party. Have a GREAT day and let us know how the eating goes.

Sending positive thoughts that everything goes well today and he can come home.

Awesome news. I am so happy to hear that he is doing well. I hope he recover really quick from here on out.

Vet called me at lunch. I can pick him up at 6:20 tonight. He is off of his IV's, ate some can dog food is up walking around. They took him out and he went potty. Seems very alert. I can't wait to pick my baby boy up tonight! I asked the vet nurse that was there yesterday, how many staple/stitches. He said "a lot" at least 30 staples.
-
OMG I am so happy to get this email about your update. Awesome news. I bet you and your hubby are some happy folks right about now…
-
Brilliant news!!!!:)

:eek: where did they put them all?
i'm glad he's on the mend; hopefully he won't be a Frankendog too long.

That is great news…. that is about how many Kristii had both times for surgery... once for the object stuck and then 7 months later for a Liver Tumor.... Her new name became "zipper" belly.... cut stem to stern..... That was one of the reasons that I did the home made e-collar... worked great....
-
So very happy for all of you and have a great evening as a family again. Maybe something special for dinner???

Congratulations!! And a big baroooo for Cody.
I'm sure now that he'll be feeling better your next post might be 'how do I keep this little beast quiet' (or stop him from jumping, rough housing, running, etc, etc, etc,…)
I'm so very happy this all turned out well.
-
I am so glad you found the cause (Kudos to your vet!) and that he will be home with you tonight.
