Dexter had some major poop problems last night (i.e. going 6-7 times)...woke us up at 4 am crying like crazy to go out...and we came home from work to a poop mess in the basement (he had thrown up too).

I took him to the vet after work. They took x-rays and it seems that he ate something fairly large. We have to bring him back tomorrow for more tests and possible surgery to remove the item

Please keep Dex in your thoughts tomorrow that they are somehow able to determine the item can pass w/o surgery. You would never know anything was wrong...he's acting totally like "normal".

Oh poor Dexter. I do hope he passes it on his own..keep us posted and we will keep crossed paws for a quick recovery.

Poor guy! I hope that surgery is not required.

 

[lmtoth2]

what's up hungry man Dexter?

seriously...it's like his lab side is coming out all of a sudden...I am praying he will vomit up whatever is down there overnight...

Poor Dexter!! Wishing him the best!!

Dexter!!! You're added to my prayers big guy! Good luck tomorrow, hopefully, whatever it is will pass on it's own.

(((((((((((((leslie and dexter))))))))))))))))
i really do hope whatever it is DEXTER brings up

i only remember too well the day Max brought up a kitchen towel
let's hope it's not that but that DEX too can bring it up and not require surgery.
keep us posted and will be saying prayers

Thanks everyone. Poor Dex is definitely distressed...he has been crying (horrible cries) most of the evening. I was given an emergency vet number in case there is an emergency overnight...hopefully he will just settle down and nap.

Poor Dexter! Leslie you must be crazy with worry! We're thinking positive thoughts here and hope he gets whatever it is out of his system on his own. Big hugs being sent your way.

 

[MaxandMe]

Leslie....is Dex settling down any yet? i feel so bad for you jerry and Dex
and hope you make it till tomorrow morning to go to vets office then.

 

[Maddjaxx]

Can only wish you and Dexter the best, at what I am sure is a trying time. Hopefully Dex will force it out the same way it came in. Good luck!! You are in our thoughts.

Any news on Dexter this morning?

 

[annieG]

Leslie...had Dexter produced anything yet?

 

[lmtoth2]

Well Dexter calmed down around 10 pm and slept pretty well through the night. He sounded like he tried to throw up once, but nothing came up. He looked really really mad at me this morning when he got no breakfast (I think an appetite is a good sign, right?). He wrestled some with Kirby after his walk and then we took him to the vet.

The vet promised me that surgery will be the last option and that they would evaluate if he can pass it or if there is some other way to address it. So we left our little guy there and are at work. I should hear an update by 10.

My heart was breaking there...a lab was brought in who had been hit by a car and was going to have his leg amputated I was almost crying watching them take him in...

Thanks again for the good wishes - will update again later.
