When something is sitting in the intestines, they can start to die off. The longer it sits, the more problematic things become. So yes, waiting several days may have caused his death. Abdominal palpTion should be part of any exam done on a dog with GI uoset.

I 100% agree with this post. Furthermore, had the 1st vet had a clue they would NEVER have suggested it COULD be an obstruction BUT say lets keep him over night for fluids & observation. This is just inexcusable when there is a possible obstruction & had something been done at THAT time instead of waiting , this pup would most likely have survived. Time is of the essence when any animal has an obstruction.
