My beardie ate a washer on Monday. Well when I came home yesterday (Wednesday) he was not doing very well, so I decided that he needed to go to the vet. They did an x-ray and the washer was sitting right in his stomach. They told me they could do an endoscope on him. Which is just pulling the washer out through the mouth or the anus. I decided that I go through with the endoscope even though it was $500, but I would do anything for my little guy.
Any ways when they did do the endoscope they thought they could take the washer out of his mouth, but the washer was down in his colon by time they did the procedure, so they had to take it out of his anus. He has been in the ER clinic sense 4pm yesterday, and I will not be able to pick him up until 2:30pm when I get off of work.
I guess what I was wondering is if any one else has gone through the same thing with their beardie, and what you did to make your beardie more comfortable. Also is there any special care tips I should know about to make sure my beardie pulls through this just fine. He is only 2 years old, and I just spent a lot of money on him, so I would like him to live a long healthy life.
