Jennifer. What a weekend you had! And poor Duncan has really been put through the mill! You must have been on pins and needles all weekend. I was so relieved to hear that the vet does not believe there is any cancer or infectious process going on. I wasn't surprised to hear about the dehydration. After all that diarrhea and vomiting, with little food or fluid intake, he was bound to be behind in fluids. Hopefully the radiologist will be able to narrow it down further. My beloved Jingles (RB) was hospitalized once after a night and day of vomiting and diarrhea. The diagnosis after xrays..."multiple foreign objects!!" The "objects" included a bird skull, sticks, small pebbles and sand! Luckily she passed them. I am thrilled that Duncan is eating small portions again. Did the vet actually say that his stomach or bowel was permanently damaged?? In what way?? Perhaps he meant that bowel is irriatated and inflammed from the sticks?? We'll just have to hope and pray that he won't need surgery. You're such a wonderful, dedicated Mom to Duncan!! Hang in there; we're all with you. We'll he praying for a full recovery for sweet Duncan. Please let us know when you hear from the radiologist. Hugs and kisses to you dear Duncan
