Over the weekend Harry wasn’t exactly his normal self. This morning he had a touch of diarrhoea so we made an appointment for the vet. We duly attended at the appointed hour but we weren’t ready for what happened next.
Not such a happy pup
During the examination Harry showed signs of being very tender around the abdomen – so tender in fact, that the vet expressed a desire to x-ray him immediately. He was worried that Harry had eaten something he shouldn’t have and it was causing an obstruction. The vet led us through all the possibilities – stones, toys, pieces of bone, he even asked us if we had any socks missing.
We had to leave Harry at the vets as he needed to be sedated for the x-ray. We weren’t sure what would happen next – it all depended on what they found.
So we went home without him, to sit and wait for the phone call. And count our socks.
