I hope so too…I guess if we think of it as if it happened to us. If we had eaten food that made us constipated and then ate more and more, pretty soon we would be in so much pain with the blockage that we probably wouldn’t want anyone around us. Dolly was the rock eater; Desi gets the squeakers out of toys and chews them and swallows them…as you remember I was worried about him a couple of weeks ago because he was vomiting and not pooping. He got over it on his own…and I hope that Monster gets over this too. The vet had put Dolly on an IV and then when she was more hydrated, they gave her a little enema and even then had to dislodge what was stuck at the end of the line. I was surprised to find out what she had eaten…Desi did try it a couple of times, but I knew to bring him in immediately and then I even started the water spray therapy to stop him from eating the rocks too…my rocks must be very tasty!

This morning I had taken him out and when I went to pick him up he hollered before I even touched him. And he was hollering a lot when the vets were messing with him...

In one of your first emails about him screeching in pain, it reminded me so much of when Dolly had the blockage (of rocks) in her intestines. Please keep us posted.

They're keeping him over night and giving him fluids, pain meds, and other meds since he's not eating now and he's in more pain. They'll probably run a dye through him and see if its a blockage then we'll go from there... I feel so bad for him and I wish I could be with him...

He's already doing better. He's walking around the house some but I'm trying to keep him still. He wants to follow me everywhere. I'm not sure if he should be walking around or not. The vet said not to let him play or run around. I've been carrying him outside to go potty and I think he's getting a little tired of being carried around. He backs up when I reach for him now. Its funny, for a dog that wants me to hold him all the time, now its too much.
