Frankfurter

Frank had to spend two days at the vet clinic because of the hair tie.  He'd stopped eating and pooping and I could tell his belly hurt.  They did a barium swallow (the vet said he LOVED the barium.  Drank it like it was the best stuff he'd ever had) and thought the hair tie was caught between his stomach and small intestine. They'd scheduled him for surgery, but then decided to try some laxatives instead.  He didn't feel well, but he wasn't super sick, so they thought surgery might be jumping the gun a little bit.  So we went the laxative route and he has started pooping and eating.  Yesterday he acted like he felt like a new man.  He was wound for sound, much to Fatty's dismay.  As long as food goes in and poop comes out, we're done.  The hair tie can stay in there as long as it's not causing any problems, but they're not even certain that it's still in there.  He may have already passed it and just had some swelling and inflammation.  He was so gassy.  He was on my lap and I could hear his belly gurgling.  The vet said every time she pushed on his belly he farted.  Poor feller. 

Look who's home!
