Easton vs Speaker Wire

We woke up Sunday morning in Indy to Easton throwing up. I thought he was just hungry, so I gave him a small portion of food. It lasted him about 2 hours and then he was getting sick every 20 minutes or so and couldn't keep anything down in his belly -- gentle rice or water. Poor puppy was feeling awful so Jim and Pops took him to the emergency vet -- x-rays showed that Easton still had some of the speaker wire in his belly from a couple of weeks prior (we thought he had thrown it all up or maybe lost it out the other end since he hadn't been sick). So the vet gave Easton a shot for the nausea and vomiting and we hurriedly packed and drove straight to the ER vet up near our house. They did emergency surgery and went into his stomach to remove the mass -- it was being suctioned in to a part of his belly where he couldn't throw it up or poop it out. He did really well and they had him out of surgery around 7pm. They called the next day and said he was doing fantastic and we should come get him that night. We were very excited to see our puppy but I think it would have been best for him to stay one more night there -- he just moaned/whined/cried all night and didn't even want to lie down. Tuesday, Jim took Easton back to the vet so they could check the incision and Easton came home with a supplemental pain pill (helped a ton and he slept much better) and an antibiotic (didn't think there was an infection but wanted to be sure). Easton is recovering slowly (he had massive stomach surgery) but is by far better than the beginning of the week. He is actually wagging his tail and barking and lying down with ease again.
Above :: James found that he can use the garbage can as a walker on the hardwood
Below :: our puppy patient made it through the emergency surgery (there was about a 3-4 inch long and 1-inch wide/round piece of speaker wire in there)...he has to wear the cone until he gets his stitches out in 10-12 days from surgery (one week from posting-date).
