Well Peedy AKA clam dog started not being himself last week. Not eating as much as normal and not playing as much. Kind of thought it was the heat. Took him to the vet, They checked him out gave intravenous fluids and a shot of somthing else. Said he may have eaten something .They said keep a eye on him and feed a bland diet, Rice plain chicken cottage cheese. So a few days go by and he seems to be getting better, Friday morning I find him in the yard very lathargic. Off to the vet. So now they take some exrays of him and say he may have a blocked intestine, so he has to have surgery. So now what let him die or spend the money. The estimate they gave us was $ 1200 - 3000. Alot of money for me considering I just got back to work and the wife has been off for a year. So we have the operation and they found a twisted bowel they have to remove a piece. The worst part they say was it was leaking and he still may get a infection that can kill him. We have our fingers crossed that it all works out for the best. The vet said she has never seen such a thing in such a young dog. In the back of my mind I wonder if they could have screwed up a minor proceadure and are trying to cover their butt. The vet seems very nice but is very young. I wish I had asked about her experiance. owell hind sight is 20-20 sorry about the rambel okbye JP
