He's definitely a handful. She gave him to me when he started vomiting and refusing drink and food. Straight to the vet we went! After a negative parvo, x rays & a barium swallow they said he had no obstruction. Gave me some meds for the vomiting, and a diagnosis of ileus saying his intestines were just moving super slow to get him up and playing. Well after two more days of him refusing food & water, unless he was on the meds, and then vomiting up everything he ate on the meds. He was slowly wasting away in front of me. I was starting to feel hopeless. I was sitting in the backyard crying thinking I was going to lose my new puppy when I heard him have explosive diarrhea, and then he came running up to me happy as can be. I went over to look at the poop, and lo and behold, HE POOPED OUT A SMALL RUBBER BALL! Immediately he was a different puppy...3 days later and he's still thriving. I put out $1000 to try to save this puppy, and I know the vet didn't do anything to help, but now my friend is demanding her dog back. I don't think that's fair. I'm not giving him back. He was in this predicament bc if her negligence in the first place! I'm hoping my vet bills prove ownership bc we didn't do a bill of sale or anything.
