I am so glad that they were able to diagnose the situation in time, although the time it took must have seemed like an eternity. Good for your mom having the presence of mind to suggest checking his poop. Bailey should be just fine. My Tucker had to have a similar surgery when he was at his previous home. His obstruction contained dental floss and candy wrappers. That was five years ago and he hasn't had any aftereffects. He still searches waste paper baskets, so we have to be careful not to put anything in the ones that he can reach which might be tempting.
