| Twisted Bowel After my previous post on Bentley, I have found out that he has twisted bowel. I know nothing about that, and am afraid to look it up. I was just wondering if anyone has dealt with this issue before?

| I would be speaking with the vet about the possibility of transferring him to a board certified surgeon. Things like this can be very serious and it is considered an emergency. I am sorry this has happened and will definitely pray for Bentley.

I'm just worried about how common this is in small dogs, and if it's a surgery with a high success rate. I'm sick.

| I agree, this is nothing to fool around with. I will pray for Bentley, bless his heart.

| He said that it could be an obstruction too! My dad went to look at the xrays for me and he said you can def tell where the intestines shrink up and no dye is getting through. I am PRAYING it's just an obstruction and not twisted bowel. Until they get in tomorrow, we won't really know. Those were the two things that he said it could be. So girls, please pray it's just an obstruction. I know the way he likes to chew on things, and an obstruction is a definate possibility.

| I will definitely keep him in my thoughts and prayers. What a scary thing. Did they say why they are waiting until tomorrow for surgery?

| They wanted to remove food and water for the night and start free tomorrow. He's still been having a little bit of issues. I'm praying hard that it is just a piece of a toy stuck or something. They are monitoring him tonight. I'm so picky about my babies and my vet knows it. They are my babies. I can't imagine life without them. Which to some people sounds so crazy, but I know that all you ladies know what I mean.

Thank you so much! It feels so empty without him in our home. Zoey is lost too! I can't wait to bring my baby home. He probably misses his momma. He's def a momma's boy. Spoiled rotten. It makes me sad having to leave him there all night.
