Sherman had an intestinal intususception. He didn't eat dinner last night. Totally odd for him. So, when he refused breakfast, I took him into the vet. After going through the basics, and the vet thinking I was crazy cause my puppy had normal everything except he was refusing food. I said do an xray which lead to an ultrasound where they found the intususception.

He was in surgery still at 4. When I just called a few minutes ago, they were closing him up. Waiting on word from them. Keep him in your thoughts.

(((Vibes))) for a speedy recovery! We did one of these a few month ago on a pup at the clinic I was working at, he's doing great, I'm sure Sherman will, too :)

Glad you went with your instincts and insisted on some diagnostics. Here's hoping for a speedy recovery.

Oh no! Glad he made it through surgery and lots of good healing vibes!!!

Also can someone explain intestinal intususception for the layperson here? Is that where it acordians in on itself and dies?

Thanks. Yes, it is exactly what you described. Freak things that happen randomly.

Yay I actually knew something.

Hope Sherman heals well without any now or future complications!
