Vet says X rays look like an internal blockage. Maybe he ate some trash that got stuck. My across the fence neighbors are very trashy and I find garbage in my yard all the time. Doc listed me a $1,200 bill for the surgery. In the mean time he gave Koda anti nausea pis, and a shot, with de-wormer, just in case its worms causing him to be so sick as he does have some signs of worms.
I really dont know what to do here. Doc says if its a blockage, it could rupture and he could get an infection in his bowels. Then we would be in a medical emergency for sure. Also, that could happen at any time. On the other hand he admits he could be wrong, and said if Koda isnt better in 48 hours, from the anti nausea meds and drinking water then we have to hospitalize him. I need to squeeze his belly every few hours to check for pain. If he reacts to his belly squeezed, then its ruptured.
Bottom line, I have to let money dictate what will happen to my dog. I spent $500 today I dont have and have run out of orifices to pull money out of. Crossing my fingers and hoping he pulls through on this. Wish i knew the future so I can know how to handle this.
