To this day I do not know what it was that was the obstruction. Surgery was risky and he probably wouldn't have made it. Just be careful what your Yorkie chews on. I know Teddy did not get any bones that could have got stuck. I watch carefully what my boys get. No rawhide chews or bulls sticks. I do get CET digestible chews from my vet but when those things get too small or icky I take them away.
Even the CET chews are choking hazards. My dog who rarely ever has choking problems will choke on those in minutes of receiving it. Bully sticks are 100% digestible so blockages are hard to get with them.
