Default 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
