Rooney is in the Hospital!

[Jane, Rooney & Stuart]

Please - everyone say a prayer for my boy!  I'm sobbing I am just so worried and feel so bad.  Yesterday started off with Rooney being his typical puppy self, happy and bouncy, ate his breakfast.  I took him to the puppy sitter as it was my golf day and picked him up later in the afternoon.  She made the comment that she couldn't get him to poop but I didn't think anything of that.  So we went to the puppy park for his usual zoomies with his buddies but that is where I started to get concerned a little bit as he simply would not go run and play, that is not my Rooney.  Afterwards I brought him home and we went for a little walk - he did poop then and it looked fine so I wasn't as worried.  But then I fed him dinner and immediatly he puked it right back up.  So I called the vet (4:55 p.m.) that they were one vet short and wouldn't be able to see him till Thursday.  I still wasn't too worried and we had a quiet evening and Rooney slept next to me all night without a problem.  We got up at 3:00 a.m. today - we were taking a road trip today and he was his usual happy self so I thought he was better - till I fed him and he puked again.  I call the Animal Hospital and they said to bring him in.  I'm thinking o.k. he has the dog flu or something.  OMG - they took x-rays and his stomach is obstructed.  They don't know by what.  I am heart broken!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I watch him like a hawk, did he swallow something?  I had to leave him there, they are starting an IV and a whole bunch more Vets come in at 8:00.  They are going to pow wow to decide what to do.  They may do an ultra-sound and/or a scope with surgery being discussed.  I love him so much and I just am sick over it.  I may know something around 9:00-9:30 - I'm afraid for the phone to ring.  Leaving him was horrid.

Oh Jane, you must so worried.  Remember that Rooney is the best place he could be right now.  You are in our thoughts and prayers. 

Does Rooney like to take socks?  Our Coco just loves socks and will take them every chance she gets.  Thankfully she has never swallowed one but we have heard that dogs love to eat these types of things.  Just a thought.  Hopefully all will be fine with little Rooney!!

[Ronna, Murphy & Wilson]

Oh my gosh Jane!  I am soooo sorry little Rooney is sick.  Give him a kiss from me and Baby Murph, you are in our thoughts.

[Jane, Rooney & Stuart]

It is 11:00 - 5 hrs since I left him.  I can't take this and am heading back down there to have a face to face on what is going on.  Thank you all for your concern.  I'll let you know something when I get back.
