Lymphoma will show in any simple blood test UNLESS it's Intestinal Lymphoma. Intestinal Lymphoma will only show in blood work IF there is a tumor that has ruptured & the reason it does not show in blood work is that it is incased within the intestinal wall. Was the squeaker metal or plastic ? if a type of metal it is possible it was poisoning him & this may be the best case scenario as it's gone now . Also after any type of surgery in the digestive system it's a good idea to give ProBiotics & you can get that from your vet. I would not suggest going to Petco or any place like that for the ProBiotics as they sell mostly things like flavored tabs & you don't want anything with junk in it as you may irritate things further since at this point you don't know for sure the cause of his episodes. Also you can buy squeaky toys without those metal or plastic squeakers in them so be sure to look inside the hole for any inserted squeakers. I often buy my dogs toys in the childrens departments as they passed a law years ago that they can not put those deadly squeakers in childrens toys, don't know WHY they still put them in pet toys but they do. Praying your baby has a full & speedy recovery & that all tests come back neg for cancer & it was that mean'ol squeaker causing the whole problem. |
