OUCH $$$$$$$$

Oh, what a terrible week  it's been!
Freddy woke up on Monday feeling very very ill.
This is the bag of "foreign body" that was delivered to me post-surgery.

Freddy had to go to the hospital, where he had many xrays, an ultrasound,  barium administration, 4 days and nights in the ICU, and surgery to remove  this little gem from his small intestine. Kongs evidently do not show up on xray or ultrasound......
$$$$$$$$ 

When we got home, he was too terrorized too get out of the car, because, look what happened last time he got out of  the car.

Uggggg. Feeling a bit under the weather since the surgeon had to check every inch of Labrador digestive tract.
The incision is as long as the shaved area.

Finally. Some peace  and quiet.

  3. Poor Fred, glad he's home. He can brag to the girls that his scars are old war wounds!

  4. Funny thing was, he was throwing up string from a cushion, and that's what we thought the obstruction/foreign body was.
