We just got home from vet #2 with a diagnosis. They did an x-ray & a rectal probe. They are confident that he does not have a blockage. However, on the x-ray his bowels showed up swollen. The diagnosis is that he has an extremely irrated bowel. We are to not give him food or water for 24 hours. Then starting tomorrow night we are to begin giving him rice & cottage cheese along with a stool softener. The vet is confident this will correct the problem. We are then supposed to work in pieces of his hard food, but not move him back to his regular food until tuesday. The 1st vet gave us liquid antiboitics, but i'm not sure he should take them on an empty stomach & I'm not sure I should give them at all since the first vet didn't tell me what they were for & he doesn't have a fever. I may call the 2nd vet tomorrow & ask her what she thinks about the antibiotics.

But at least we have a diagnosis now & a plan rather then a wait & see.
