The X-Ray showed blockage and gases. He is not doing well.

I’m very sorry. It sounds like your bun could have gastrointestinal bloat. It is very serious. Here is an article on bloat and treatment for bloat:

Is there an actual blockage? Or is it just gas build up and stasis?

I’d keep massaging his stomach and try to give him a bit of water. Really hope he pulls through

Thank you for your responses. I took him to the vet last night. He has GI stasis and the gas is pressing upon his lungs and causing pain and difficulty breathing. The vet gave me simethicone drops and an herb based motility tonic. He took x-rays and showed the blockage. I am feeding him Critical care but he is not swallowing half of it opting to…[Read more]

It was a shock for us too, after Glenn’s first wife passed…[Read more]

I definitely recommend spraying water or a dustpan to help diffuse fights! My boys have been a long bond and it has helped to stop things before someone really gets hurt.
