aawww... poor baby But just think when he gets better we will be back to being a mischievous little puppy. Just like what his picture looks like.

Poor baby. It makes sense to neuter him at the same time (saves another surgery later). You did the right thing taking him. I hope he will be better soon.

Kelly, I think you did the right thing. Sorry I didn't get to this sooner. I would be going nuts if I knew he didn't pass the squeaker and he still wasn't 100%. It's very smart (and cost efficient) to neuter him at the same time, so good for your vet for suggesting it.

He's in my thoughts. I hope all turns out well!

Poor boy You did the right thing though! If mine are just acting a little off I start freaking out and take them to the vet.

Were they going to do the surgery today? Please keep us posted.

Thank you everyone for the kind words. I just called the vet to check on Hayden and they said he is under right now. They are going to go ahead and do the neuter, as well as micro-chipping as well. They said he is doing good, so I'm praying everything goes well! Again, thank you everyone, I really appreciate it more than you know! I'll post more information as I get it

i can't wait to hear how it all goes and where they find the squeaker! sucks he did not pass it but at least he is in good hands and getting everything taken care of at once so he will be in great shape when he comes out of it.

Wonderful News!!! Hayden is out of surgery!!!

They said he did wonderful!!! It was the squeaker toy and it was stuck in the fold of his small intestine. She said it probably would have passed within a few days, but because he was so sick and dehydrated she is glad they did it and so am I!

Dr.Whatley said before the surgery he was being a total clown in the office. He was so cute they let him stay in the exam room out of the cage with everyone the entire time. Apparently it was someones birthday and they brought in brownies and put it on a table near him and he jumped up to eat them lol but thankfully they caught him before he got hold of them. They said he was talking/howling to them all morning/afternoon and everyone loved him.

Anyway, they said they are treating this just like a female spay, because it was such an easy procedure. On an even better note they quoted me $1,500-$2,500 for the day and she said because it was so easy and fast it's going to be A LOT less! So that's good news too!

I get to pick him up at 6:30pm, so in an hour I get my baby!!!

Thank you everyone for all the support and input on this subject.

PS. ALL squeakers are being THROWN AWAY!!!

Fantastic news!

Awesome. I'm glad they did it as well. Blockages are my #1 fear with our guy.

great news all around...

give him a hug from us

That's great news! Nice that you were able to get him neuterd and microchipped at the same time. So glad he is going to be ok!

Yay! That's great news!

Glad to hear he is doing much better now and it sounds like the staff had a blast with him

yesterday- even sick he still loves playing and digging
this morning right before taking him into the vet, baby is so sick ...

Yay! Go Hayden! Glad to hear it went so well

YAYY!!! I logged on just now to see if you had posted an update! I was worried about him. So glad everything came out well!!!!

Thanks everyone, he is doing good! He's in a lot of pain and cried most of the way home. He's still really sleepy from all the drug's they pumped into him. They sent me home w/some pain meds, so hopefully that will make him feel better! I got some pix of him, I don't think he enjoyed me taking them though poor guy!

- what they pulled out of him!
- car ride home
- in his favorite spot, looking miserable

aww poor baby, glad he's better now

Glad he is better.. He does not look very happy sitting there..

Sending <<<<<hugs>>>> him.

Awww poor baby He'll be much better tomorrow!

OMG! I am soooooo happy he is ok. This totally made me day

Poor guy goes to the doctor for a sick gut, goes to sleep wakes up nutless and the vet treats him like a spay.



Poor guy will be confused for life.

At least you can tell him the worst day of his life is over.

Len you crack me up!

I think he is a little confused. He went to pee for the first time after the surgery and all was flowing normal until he got to the end of it and jumped really fast like "wtf is missing!" I felt so bad!
