a lab pup with intussusception

a golden lab 6 months was vomiting and not eating since last 15 days. it was on medication since that time. yesterday the dog came to my hospital. x-ray showed intussusception and foreign body in the stomach. finally after a long discussion with the owners, we decided to operate the dog without wasting any more time. the dog under went surgery and we removed the socks from his stomach. the intestines were in very bad shape so i removed some part of it and again sutured it back.the dog recovered very well from anaesthesia and is still with us. i have maintained it on fluid line. no water and no food for other 5-6 days. i hope he will survive very well and will have a very good life in future....
