I gave him some canned pumpkin Saturday, but he did not hold it down. This is what I was afraid of. I am still thinking obstruction.

I was so mad at the er doc. She was fine after that. If he doesn't get better, maybe they can do a barium xray where they follow the barium through their system to make sure there is no blockage. I will keep him in my prayers. |
Interesting! See, that did not show up on the x-rays either. Now I wonder. Thanks for sharing your story. I will keep you all updated!!
