[Dailydrool] Rotten DumDum Update

[kacy green]

So Rotten Rupert is in surgery right now. They said he's doing well. THANKS
TO EVERYONE FOR KIND THOUGHTS AND DROOL!!!

They've removed the portion of the intestine where the item is lodged,
haven't opened it yet though to see what it is. I can't wait to know! They
said it had likely been lodged for about 44 hours which means he must've
ingested it several days ago....I still have no clue what it is!

They also found a "diverticulum" or pocket that can form on intestines (they
said its genetic). It happens in humans (diverticulitis) a lot but they said
they've never seen it in dogs. They called a specialist surgeon too who said
he'd heard of it but never seen it, Guess we have the medical-wonder-dog!
Lol. Anyway this pocket can get food stuck in it and could result in future
surgeries so I said to just cut out that part of the intestine too to
prevent future incidents. Add another $200 onto the bill but oh well. Once
its over $1000 it really doesn't make a difference. Lol.

Anyways, thanks again. I'll let you know if anything changes but as of now
I'm on track to take him home tonight when I get off work. On one hand I
feel so bad for him and on the other its his own damn fault! Hopefully he'll
learn a lesson but i doubt it. Lol.

Kacy with Cowboy (proving more and more he's an angel) and without
Rupert (certainly no angel)
