We spent Sunday at my vet's (who is closed Sunday)
Tuck is ill, and goes to a specialist this morning, and potentially for
surgery. His adhesions from his chicken bone incident as a puppy have caused
intestinal blockage. Because of the severity of his surgery, the fact that he
lost all of his omentum, and resulting adhesions, he is a high risk surgical
candidate, and my vet says he is not equipped to do the surgery, so referred
him to a specialist.

Tuck has lost 3 pounds since Thursday and was thin to begin with. This
morning, he seems to be feeling better, and I think the blockage has moved.
We still are going to the specialists, and hope the surgery is not needed

Aw, hell! I'm sorry. I hope Tuck's okay. It sounds like there's
reason to be guardedly optimistic? I'm thinking good thoughts for him.

What a bummer! I hope no surgery needed. Poor guy. Any idea what is
causing the blockage? Do you think it is just food?

Ah, damn damn damn! Now this is personal, diddy - I had an
adhesion-caused blockage 8 years ago, know how serious it
is. Sending all manner of healing thoughts for Tuck and you.

I'm so sorry to hear this diddy. Holding Tuck close to my heart and sending
all my positive energy to both you and Tuck. He's such a good boy, such a
special dog. And so loved by everyone. I know he has many prayers and much
positive energy focussed on him. Let us know how he's doing.

best,

td

I am so sorry Diddy.
Tuck's health is the priority, and you are taking care of that. He will be
in my thoughts and prayers, as will you.
The best of the best and the worst of the worst, once again.

Did anyWON in the IDIOT class EXXXPLAIN to "Silent Sam"
that Tuck is YET AGAIN settin on the verge of DEATH thanks
to your incompetent IDIOTIC OBEDIENCE TRAININ, diddler?

Don't you think he should be apprised of his beloved Tuck's dire
circumstances so he don't presume it was HIS FAULT for Tuck
not comin into school yet again?

Or perhaps you geniHOWESES can use Tuck's DEATHLY ILLNESS
and perhaps imminent demise as a HAMMER of GUILT, blaming him
for this PREDICTABLE turn of events, to beat the little bone head
into
talkin in class?

Perhaps you can teach him to BEG an say his preyers for
Tuck to make a EZ trainsition to The Bridge, eh, diddler??

Tuck is ill,

Naaaaah?

and goes to a specialist this morning,

Naaaaah?

We was all lookin forward to your report of Tuck an Reka's
SUCCESS in the St. Louis trackin trials today, seein as you
"drew in BOTH Tuck and Reka next weekend in Edwardsville
Illinois at a tracking test. I've seen other people draw in multiple
dogs before,".

Hey diddler? In my own more than forty five years hangin HOWET
at the horse an dog show rings I've NEVER HEARD the EXXXPRESSION
"drew in", pryor. PERHAPS you can define it for us show / trial
illiterate ignorameHOWESES?

OR, perhaps you're just makin up NEW LANGUAGE to
impress your fellHOWE dog lovers participating in the
encyclopedia discussions in the thread "6 Ways to Prevent
Destructive Chewing"??

Hey diddler? There's ONLY WON WAY to prevent destructive
chewing. Perhaps you should look into DOIN EVERY THING
EXXXACTLY PRECISELY OPPOSITE of HOWE you been
doin it, seein as ALL your own PROFESSIONALLY TRAINED
dogs have had PROBLEMS for ABDOMINAL SURGERIES??

and potentially for surgery.

Naaaaah?

His adhesions from his chicken bone incident
as a puppy have caused intestinal blockage.

Naaaah?

Hey diddler? Are you SHORE Tuck's ADHESIONS are
the cause of his PAIN or might this be yet ANOTHER
NEW incident of your hyperactive HOWETA CON-TROLL
SAR candidate swallHOWEIN STUFF no living critter
can or should swallHOWE?

BWEEEAAAHAAAHAAA~!~!~!

Because of the severity of his surgery, the fact that he lost
all of his omentum, and resulting adhesions, he is a high
risk surgical candidate, and my vet says he is not equipped
to do the surgery, so referred him to a specialist.

That's QUEER, ain't it, diddler? Perhaps your vet AIN'T
EQUIPPED to deal with Tuck's IDIOTIC ignorameHOWES
owner?

Tuck has lost 3 pounds since Thursday and was thin to begin with.

Yeah. And here we was all EXXXPECTIN you to report that
Tuck had lost three points when his idiot handler jerked him
off the track or forced him to cross a road again {}: ~ (

This morning, he seems to be feeling better,
and I think the blockage has moved.

Seein as most of us ain't trained veterinary malpracticioners
nor have we had the EXXXTENSIVE veterinary backgrHOWEND
you got, perhaps you can EXXXPLAIN us HOWE a intestinal
adhesion MOVES at will, diddler?

We still are going to the specialists, and hope the surgery is not needed

Well diddler, we're all PREYIN for Tuck's EZ TRAINsition to The
Bridge.

He pooped. He's eating and drinking, and the specialist says he needs to
remain on some medications, and no, he shouldn't go to Missouri this
weekend. and yes, he's going to be fine, but this problem will persist
throughout his life, and surgery for adhesions may be necessary in the
future, but not now. YAY! He said my vet did all the appropriate therapy.


Thanks

yeah, it was just a food bolus (with hoof parts) caught in inflammed
intestines that were already narrowed due to his adhesions
