The Vet said to stop with the peas because they don’t have enough fiber.

Maybe this is true for a specific type of peas or kale, however, peas usually have more dietary fibre than kale.

When you talk to the doctor next, ask it it would be helpful to give fluids subcutaneously.
If your vet has not given subcutaneous fluids before give them this link:

Sounds good! Thank you!!!!

To be honest I gave her both.

Our Vet exchanged a series of emails today with Dr Speer & he also looked @ Mama’s X-ray.

Per Speer’s recommendation we just came back from the Vet where they administered:
SubQ fluids
Lactulose
Pain Med

We are to continue with the 10 ML of water and then we’ll take Mama back to the Vet tomorrow & she will spend the day there. They’ll continue SubQ fluids, pain meds & the stool softener while trying to force feed some pellet mash. Marilla will also be able to spend some time swimming in their little pool.

Another med may be added @ some point in the event they decide there might be a bacterial infection.

Short of her intestine rupturing she should be able to pull through this.
We are most definitely praying for a full & complete recovery!!

Thank you so much for the referral @casportpony!

Thank you to @Miss Lydia, @Kiwibird & everyone else who’s been walking along with us on this journey. It’s scary but I am so grateful we have all of you supporting us!!!

That is so encouraging and sure sounds like a good plan. Thanks for updating and we’ll keep praying along with you that Mama pulls through this.

We had never met this vet until yesterday, we take our pup to a different one, and she was overwhelmed when she saw Mama’s X-ray. She told me this morning she spent much of last night researching blockages because she just didn’t know what to do.

When I mentioned Dr Speer she was grateful to have a resource to reach out too. I am so grateful she was willing too & I am also grateful Dr Speer was willing to help out. From what she said Dr Speer wasn’t shocked by Marilla’s
X-ray & that gave her some extra peace of mind. It’s a blessing all the way around.

Thank you again for the referral & all of the advice! I truly appreciate it!!
