| Myy little guy went in Sunday night for emergency surger Hey guys my 1 year old 8 month yorkie named Chewbacca went into emergency surgery Sunday night/MOnday early morning for intenstinal blockage. Dr. called us at 4am to tell us that the surgery went well and it was a hairball in his intestine/mixed with bone. This is weird since we don't really leave bones around, but the hair can be accounted for a carpet that just gathers it. Regardless, his vital signs are good, but the internist just called today and said that he vomitted up some green fluid today, but did eat some chicken earlier today. I understand that intestinal surgery could lead to peritonitis - inflammation of the intestinal tissue, but I am hoping that its just post surgery/anesthesia jitters. Vet wants him to stay over one more day. Please pray for him http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot..._1781998_n.jpg |

| Oh Chewie you gotta watch what your chewing!!! I am glad to hear he is out of surgery and doing better. I hope Chewbacca feels better and there are no additional issues. Buster threw up a little carpet hairball the other day. I have training treats that I break into smaller pieces and I found him hoovering the carpet the other day trying to get up the tiny bits. I will definitely be more aware after seeing your post.

| Saying prayers for Chewbacca. My Sammy had similar surgery in 2002. I don't know what he ate but the vet showed us a piece of plastic that she took from his stomach. He was a little droopy when he came home but soon perked up. Hope your little feels better each day. |

| they believe that since the stomach was under stress for the day (Sunday) before we took him in (Sunday night) that it fell into a state of paralysis and its not working. |
