An ileus can partially block them. I mean, it may be IBD, but IBD can be secondary to something else that needs to be treated. If your vet doesn't want to go further, an internist may be able to help. |
the xray will show fluids in the intestine; when this first happened; i took her to the ER and they did an xray; they said it's filled with fluids; they thought it might be blood; due to the blood vomiting; but they didn't know why. they also did an ultrasound and said there was no mass. looking back at this why didn't they even suspect IBD is beyond me. they were looking for a mass or an obstruction.
