Highlander thats good news he's drinking as to the eating maybe he associates pain with that if his intestines were blocked.

Dogs are as complex as humans.

BINBOB your never 89.......

wondering how barney is today?

**highlander** · 15-Sep-09, 20:23

Update..just back from the vets, things not too good, poor barney still not eating and stopped drinking, he was in some pain so was kept in and has to get an xray, depending on what the x ray says they might have to operate again, we were told its the fifth day that things go wrong. Poor barney has been through so much and i could not get over the strengh he has considering hes not eaten since a week, will phone tomorrow to find out the outcome.

Poor Barney, he must be awfully sore. He looks a big strong fella and the vet will have a good look at what is going on and take it from there.
Hopefully it is just the pain that is preventing him eating and drinking....
Please give him lots of positive strokes and pets as he will absorb the energy from you firm but gentle touch......every little helps......Please keep us all updated.....................

I am so sorry to hear that poor Barney is still unwell.

Hoping and praying that the veterinary care he receives (even if that means another op) will help him on his way to recovery.

Who would have thought a stone could cause such damage?!

Thinking of you as know how worried, and tired, you must be.

Take care xxx

Hi really sorry to read bout ur wee dog. We had a GSD that swallowed a ball but no one realized he would be fine for days then be violently sick. Anyway to cut a long story short one emergency op later n offending ball removed he wouldn't eat a thing. I eventually persuaded him to eat baby food!! He needed fed every 30 mins but it worked, he would also drink complan which helped with building his strength up. When we went back to get stitches out the vet couldn't believe how well he was looking. It took wks to get him eating dog food but he did eventually. Will keep my fingers crossed you get some good news.

Thank you for posting that, it is reasureing and thank you all for your kind wishes, our dog bruno who lived till he was 14 ate stones like smarties lol unbelievable i would say to him dont eat that stones, he would look at me as if to say just u try stopping me! and would pop another in his mouth, we were very lucky he did not have to go through the same operation.

No real news to give today, barney had to be sedated to have an x-ray, they never seen anymore stones, hes tender on his wounds with a temp and is being kept in today, have to wait and see what tomorrow brings.
