No. I doubt you have damaged him for life. And it's a bit hard to decide what they can and can't have when internet forums are full of bully stick praises. I'd discontinue the bullies, the liver treats, the peanut butter, the sweet potato treats, and anything else that is not his one and only dog food. See what you get. Then if there isn't a problem for a few weeks, start adding things back in (although I'd still skip the bullies). |
Okay thank you. I will do just that. Should I wait to do his bloodwork? Can he get bloodwork done while on the metro or does that not matter? If the metro will not stop the symptoms of an obstruction I guess I can wait on the x-rays or barium like you suggested.
