Blockage is serious business! I have lost 2 wonderful babies to that in the past. Hang the $$$$! Pouncer is worth whatever it takes and I am sure the vet will work with you. Sickness does not wait till it is convient for us or we have a great payday, the vets have to know that. Keep us posted but get him in there!

(If all else fails, offer you talent as a artist to satisfy the bill!)
