Well, we just got back from the vet, and the news isn't great. My poor doggy has to have gastric surgery tomorrow morning. There is a giant blockage in her tummy - it is about 2 inches thick, and 4-5 inches long (perhaps bigger). On the xray, he noticed her stomach had not yet emptied, so then he decided to give her barium and do a 2nd xray. It became quite obvious that about 1/2 of her stomach is totally blocked, and it is preventing things from digesting and passing through to her intestines.
So, tomorrow morning, we will get up and go take her for surgery. While the doctor is fairly sure this is something she ate, he said that he cannot rule out cancer until he goes in there and looks around. Wish us luck! I hope the surgery isn't too awful and that the blockage is nothing more than things she should not have eaten.

Oh no. :( I'm so sorry. I'll be thinking of the doggy tomorrow and praying it all goes well.
