I'm really REALLY worried here. My greyhound, Trent, knocked the weight off of the kitchen trash can and ate "8" chicken wing bones...WHOLE. They will not pass.
Greyhounds are really sensitive to anesthesia. This surgery could kill him. I'm so scared. He's my baby. :cry:

Thanks...He did react poorly to the sedation, so the surgeon called off the procedure. The risks are too high for the surgery, so we have to try the natural route. He's going to have to be on a special diet until the wings pass. Now I get to worry longer.

I'm happy that your little friend is coming home and he's doing okay. Give him a hug for me once he's better. :O)
