Tyson did okay through the night, however he is still constantly vomiting. He is going to have a ultrasound, and hopefully that will shed some light as to what is going on.

I'm heading there in a few to visit him, hopefully I know more when I'm there

 

[LT2108]

Doctor just called, ultrasound shows a lot of fluid, and looks like his intestines are inflamed, which makes them think there is a obstruction, surgery is needed to see, due to all the fluid, if there isn't an obstruction then they would have to investigate to see if something is wrong with his intestines.



I have a feeling, his duty days are over

Prayers away. Hope everything goes okay.

Glock, did he have a "twisted gut" or an actual obstruction? I saw this a few times when I worked for animal control. I always wondered what causes a twisted gut. An obstruction is from something he ate or a tumor. (that's what I have been told) Any idea what caused the problem?

 

[LT2108]

Yeah, he ingested a large amount of hair somehow, and wasn't able to digest it and it got caught in his stomach, and blocked his intestines

 

[hombre243]

Big ol doggie hairball. Must have been hanging around them cats too much. Did the vet say it was ok to use hairball medicine as a preventative? Is that stuff available for dogs? Glad your buddy is better.

 

[LT2108]

Tyson is doing real good, he gets his staples out on Friday and with any luck, will be released to go back to work

 

[28Shooter]

Glad he's coming along. Keep him away from those cats, they're a bad influence!
