Well, I took Joey in again today because he was still throwing up this weekend. He decided to do a barium x-ray study to see if there was a blockage. So when the first x-ray was done the vet, vet tech, and myself went to look at it in the dark room. He lit it up and wouldn't you know.....a little ring shaped coil showed up in his stomach. The little brat ate a key ring!! Well, that's what we think it is anyway.
My vet is booked for the next three days so he's referring me to another vet who happens to have an endoscope. Hopefully he'll be able to pull it out with that, but if not, he'll do Joey's surgery to remove the keyring. So everyone please send good thoughts to Joey for tomorrow morning. I'm hoping he'll just pull it out with the endoscope. I'm just glad we finally figured out what was causing him so much trouble!!
