Elvis Rocks !

A few months ago, my dog Elvis stopped eating and was just laying around moaning. After a couple of days of this I took him to the vet. She did an xray and found that he had swallowed a rock and it was stuck in his intestine. Surgery was performed, and she removed a rock about the size of a golf ball.
 
After about 5 days Elvis was back to his abnormal self. 5 days later he began exhibiting the same behavior of not eating and laying around moaning. Fearing a problem with the surgery, we returned to the vet and another xray was performed. He had swallowed another rock of about the same size.
 
Each surgery costs over $500. Here is Elvis recuperating.
 

 
Here is how Elvis looks when he goes outside now.
 

 
Just thought I'd share. My wife says I'm being over protective. I told her if she lets him out without his muzzle, and he eats another rock she can start digging a hole.

Didn't he star in that movie "Silence of the Dogs":-)




Great news!!!!

I bought some Elvis rocks once.

They turned out to be counterfeit.

Never again.




Hey Randy,
 As a confirmed dog lover it's good to see that Elvis is up and running.

 Go Elvis!

Well, Elvis always was a rock star that overate so nothing new there.  (Hope he's learned his lesson though!)

are they becan shaped/smelling rocks or something????

:)

 
Cool story Randy, sorry it was so costly. I sure hope you can break him of that habbit.

 We had a Mastiff when I was growing up that we had to move out of the house and into her own kennal because she liked to get shocked. She started by licking railroad batterys and moved on to chewing the cord off of anything we had pluged into the wall.

Made me smile - thanks

So Elvis likes to get stoned.
 
may not be funny but it got me platinum after
all these years.

Post padder!

Lets hope you can get him out of this habit. 

My Westie, Bobby, is a good lad, he only chews his toys and seems to know what he can and cant jump on or touch. Makes me look like the Dog Whisperer supreme, but he just rolls that way. I guess we have been very lucky with him, especially when I read some of these stories here...

I wear them, but that's just an attempt on my part to look stylish.
