Omg..did Ya'll Hear That Gsod Around The World?

Poor Ben, I had to rush him to the vet again this afternoon and have them "clean" him out! He was screaming so loud while we were out on our walk and I couldn't get both boyz settled down enough to get back to the house. Ben was all hunched over screaming with poop half in and half out...I was so scared! I got him to the vet and they cleaned him out again, he screamed the whole time. The vet said he apparently has two pockets on either side of the colon which waste gets trapped in. We're home now and he's panting and whimpering with an occasional whine, looking at his butt.His regular vet has been on vacation but I'm gonna call her and see if she was able to get the names of the people who did the double surgery on this poor pup! We came home with a bag of very low residue food to try.This really scares me when he starts screaming like this.

aweee the poor guy. ((hugs))

I've read you post about this before. What I don't understand is, what was he eating at the kennel?

 

If he didn't have the problem there after the surgery, why now? Is it all diet related?

Poor guy, I sure hope you get to the bottom of it

[grey14me]

omg, how awful...poor guy

I wish I knew.....the vet said he probably just coped with it on his own at the kennel.I feel so helpless for him!This time it was really bad...

[Guest Energy11]

The low-residue food might help. Good Luck with this, and I am sure it IS scary!

[Batmom]

Poor bug .

 

Believe there is a surgery they do where they just shorten the colon -- cut that section out altogether -- so it would be worth knowing if that was already tried or if they did something else when they worked on him before.

[Guest zoolaine]

Poor Ben and to you. Hope you can get things settled down and that the low residue food helps.

[RobinM]

Poor baby. I too would try and find out how he coped and with what at the kennel.

I'm so sorry about your boy- hope he gets better!

[krissn333]

My Skimmie used to have unusually large poops that hurt him...I gave him Metamucil with his food and he did fine...however, switching to TOTW Pacific Stream has helped his poop be much more appropriately sized for his tiny little body

 

Sounds like diverticulitis in people...I don't know much about it but I just wanted to pass along my hopes that Ben is feeling better soon - poor boy

[PrairieProf]

How scary! I'm sorry that Ben, and you, are going through this.

[Guest Greytluv]

Poor Ben I hope he feels better.

[Guest katieandpadfoot]

Sorry you both have to go through this. Hope you find something that will help him out!!!

[Guest shanesmom]

Poor Ben and you too. I'll be praying that your vet finds a way to prevent this from happening again. I can only imagine how painful that is for him.

[Guest cgl0909]

Poor, poor pup! I feel so bad for him and you. I would have been a crying mess. I can’t stand for anyone to be in pain. I hope the new food helps.
