Holly

[Granca]

Yes, just to remind you, Holly...

 

[Stacia]

 

[Rosie]

All together now...

"Poo, glorious Poo!
What wouldn't we give for
Bowel movements at last
That's all that we live for!
Just picture a great big turd,
Firm, shining and new!
Oh POO! Wonderful POO! Marvellous POO!
Glorious POOOOOOOOO!"

Good lord, being a Labrador owner does strange things to you, doesn't it...?

 

[Hollysdad]

She's not pooped yet, but the smells! It like all the fiends of hell have taken up residence in her back passage.

 

[Candy]

Ooh! There must be something brewing there! Come on Holly!

 

[Naya]

Any news of a poo yet?

 

[MellowYellow]

Never has a poo been more eagerly anticipated...

 

[Hollysdad]

Nothing yet. She's had several short walks to try and encourage a poop. If we don't get anything tomorrow morning I'm calling the vet. Its 3 days since the barium meal and no sign of a poop.

 

[HAH]

Good plan. Hopefully something will happen in the next few hours. Huge sympathy with you (and Holly, poor girl) xx

 

[Stacia]

Good sign though that she is eating and hasn't been sick. Hope you don't get an explosion during the night!

 

[Selina27]

Well? Anything yet today?

Agree with @Jelinga , good that she's eating and not being sick.

 

[Jacqui-S]

Passing wind is always the first thing we look for post gut surgery.
It won't be long

 

[Hollysdad]

Still nothing.

 

[Selina27]

Still nothing.

It's a waiting game!

Is she alright in herself though? Is she allowed a short on lead walk?

 

[kateincornwall]

So sorry for your continued worry , come on girlie please x

She’s not got much energy but seems OK otherwise. We’ve been taking her for 10-15 minute sniffy lead walks to keep her mind active. The movement might also encourage some bowel activity.

Come on Holly

I was thinking of Holly as I poo-picked the garden this morning. Come on girl, we're all rooting for you.

Me too! You can do it, Holly!

 

[Hollysdad]

WE HAVE A POO !!!!!!!!

OK, its small and streaked with a bit of blood (presumably from everything that's been stuck inside her since Monday) but its a poo.

Hopefully the recovery starts from here.
