Apparently the little bugger decided to eat a good portion of shipping material, he has been pooping it out, and recently threw up a large chunk. He is at the vets they did not like what they saw in the first set of xrays so they gave him barium and are waiting for it to work through to take more xrays. Worse case he would need surgery. Please keep him in your prayers he is such a good boy! Will post later when I know more! We have no idea how he got this!

My prayers go out to you, I hope everything will turn out okay!

Good luck

Oh my gosh that's terrible!! I've been in you're shoes, so I know exactly how you feel!! I'll for sure keep Balon in my thought's and prayers! I wish you and him both the very best. Please keep us all updated!

Sending good Sibe vibes to Balon. When my Blaze swallowed one of those skinz toys the vet used hydrogen peroxide to get him to vomit. It was within 30 minutes of ingestion though.

I will be thinking about Balon and sending good vibes your way.

My Blaze ate the arm off a toy monkey it was about 3 inches long and an inch around..The vet want to help him pass it by giving him lots of fiber. Well he was eating and pooping normal for 2 days and on the 3rd day the threw it up.

shipping materials as in packing peanuts?.....

sure hope Balon passes them one way or another and no surgery is required! keep us posted. good thoughts are coming your way!

Keeping Balon in our thoughts and prayers!

Sending woowoos and carbon thoughts Balons way! Maybe the carbon thoughts will make him pass them, one way or another! tehe!


Please keep us posted! & like Jen said, hopefully no surgery!!

No more like those envelopes new cameras come in, sorta like ultra thin flexible sterene but think the size of a guitar pedal lol. Apparently he ate a lot of it, my son caught him but thought he caught him before he actually ate any.

We just got back from the vet and they want to do another xray tomorrow morning. She doesn't see any extension of the intestines which is good, means probably no blockage, but she wants to check the stomach. Meanwhile we hope he continues to pass whatever is left in there.

I thank god I have VPI! Thanks for all the concerns and prayers keep em coming we ain't out of the woods yet!

Hopefully everything passes and he has no ill effects!

Oh poor Balon. I hope he passes it easily and doesn't need surgery.

Good luck, Balon! Hope it all comes out alright! (see what I did there? )

Me too I am just so upset. We are so careful around here, I just don't know where he found that.

LOL you know what, I really needed that laugh, thanks!

Sometimes a little gallows humor really helps

And don't beat yourself up over it. Hailey is a scavenger... she will FIND things to eat that really should never come near a canine digestive system. Sometimes all the puppy proofing in the world doesn't prevent them from getting curious and eating something they shouldn't. It doesn't make you a bad parent... just human

Good luck with Balon.

Plus let us know how VPI treats you.

I will certainly post a report on VPI! I am hopeful, we have the major medical on both dogs. I already submitted it online so we shall see

Best wishes to both you and Balon!

I hope it all works out.

Sending positive energies your way!

Keeping Balon in our thoughts and prayers

We are praying for Balon as well. Hope everything turns out ok.

I too have been there with Kody and it's so scary! Luckily he didn't need surgery, but he did need an IV to rehydrate him after trying to throw up the HUGE toy that he ate while we were on vacation. He threw a piece up in the middle of the night, but kept throwing up afterwards. He didn't want to drink or eat anything (so not like him!). Rushed him the vet and they gave him the IV and some high fiber food to help him pass the rest. Vet said that as long as he's pooping it would eventually pass. Which it did, 2 days later!

Praying for Balon!

Poor Balon! Our thoughts are with him.

Well he is not allowed to eat anything until tomorrow mornings xray. He is allowed small amounts of water. He is peeing, and he is pooping a few more small pieces came out (sorry for the detail lol). He only threw up once before I took him to the vet and hasn't again. I am hopeful that tomorrows xray will show nothing left. He is passing a lot of barium too. Just feel so sorry for my guy!
