Seeking Attention

Corker has been determined to get my attention this Christmas.
First he went unexpectedly lame - not completely off his foot, but in obvious pain and reluctant to have it looked at. Couldn't see any cuts or thorns, so I decided just to rest him - which meant he didn't get to come for the morning frolic on the sports fields at Arrow Park, Redditch. Amazingly, ;)) his foot was better the next morning when I was getting the dogs ready for the walk, and has been fine since.....
But last night, 11.30pm on Sunday (!) he began behaving in a bizarre fashion, trying to eat the carpet and his bedding and obviously agitated. Been here before! Last time it was a blockage caused by eating duct tape - don't ask! So, out of my sick bed (I picked up a heavy cold this Christmas) and into the car to the emergency vets. Xrays showed a blockage, so he was kept in over night. Further Xrays and an endoscopy this morning showed green and white fibres but no real blockage. And I have since discovered that the green pan scrubber is missing - could there be a connection? (Oh yes!)

So, they are keeping him in a further 24 hours to see if he can pass food through his system, or if the blockage has just moved further down the system. They have also taken some biopsy samples, just in case there is a tumour or something nasty lurking there.
Appparently Corker is fine in himself and lapping up the attention of the nurses.........meanwhile, it seems very quiet here at home.
