Awe whats a few fingers for a good cause.......Seriously good news that Barney has eaten...even the cat food.
I think the fella is going to be just fine and now will go from strength to strength.
I bet your tum was bursting and popping with happy bubbles when you saw that food and antb' slide down the red brae.

**highlander** · 22-Sep-09, 19:41

Just to let you all know, barney is now much, much better, hes still only eating catfood and turns his nose up at the chicken i gave him, he is going back to the vets tomorrow night to be sedated again to get his stitches out, i am watching him like a hawk when hes outside, so worried hes going to go back to eating stones, thank-you all for your lovely messages.

**Liz** · 22-Sep-09, 22:46

Delighted to hear that darling Barney is continuing along the road to full recovery and enjoying the cat food.

Hopefully, he will go back to dog food when he is ready. I am sure he will feel much more comfortable once he gets the stitches out.

I can imagine it must be really worrying for you in case he eats stones again.

Benjy is bad for picking up stones but thankfully they are very small and he has only swallowed a couple.
His poos always contain 'treasures' such as bits of socks, unidentified bits of plastic and anything else he has hoovered up!

Good to hear Barney is doing so well............Watch out though the cat food could turn out to be a bit of a ploy....................sounds as if he has realised it's much taster than the doggy stuff....but who cares as long as he is well............

maybe he's learned getting stoned is a bad idea.
