Well after the weekend of laxatone, the object had moved out of the stomach.
The vet tried an enima to dislodge it, no luck. So, exploratory surgery was
done. The object turned out to be a damned almond, a whole almond. I musta
dropped it on the floor without realizing it. And he usually won't touch
anything on the floor not even his spilled food. Just goes to show ya, gotta
be careful, although things just get by us.
Pick him up tomorrow afternoon. Damned expensive almond, shoulda told the
vet to save it and I will get it Bronzed.

Oh my God!!! Poor thing! Wow. You wouldn't think he could SWALLOW an almond.
Wow. Well, think about it this way, you won't have all the little dribble
drabble vet bills. Gosh, you'd think the stomach acid would have dissolved
it. I'm very glad though that Dufus is OK. Things seen in stomachs on xrays
are scary. This was at least fixable.
