Our poor wee Jack has just got home yesterday after a worrying week.
Last Sunday he just stopped eating - then two days later he had lost a couple of kilo's so my wife took him to the vet. They suggested a wet high protein diet.
The next day, he was still not eating - although I had handfed him a little bit. I suspected a blockage - so got my wife to take him to the vet again (I work some 60km's from home). As I suspected the x-ray showed something, but they couldn't see properly so had to give him a tablet overnight and then x-ray again. On Thursday, the x-ray showed something completely blocking up his insides, so they operated and pulled out:
one kneehigh sock of my daughters, and a pair of her knickers !!!
What is with that?
They were twisted in quite a bunch - so obviously no chance of making it through - or back out.
Jack wasn't a very brave dog - so had to stay on pain killers for a while - and we got him home yesterday. He has a horrible cut through his middle - but is almost back to himself already. We never crated him before but had to get a crate to get him in as he is a bit of a bouncy character.
We do love him to death - and the place wasn't the same when he wasn't here... Even the cat was moping about!
I'm putting the whole experience down to him being only 6 months old - and it being a puppy fetish.... But would love to know if other people have had the same thing happen - and if they learn from the whole experience.
Here he is "before" he had his wee "accident"

And yes - I'm not sure if he brought those clothes in that are sitting on the floor in that last photo!
Ya gotta smile - it's a nice day having your mate back
