Were on a kinda wait and see right now. X-Ray's even with my wife working there are not cheap LOL we did the two right away to see if there was any movement of the impaction. If I don't see any results soon we will do another one to see if we have had any movement next week.

Sorry haven't posted in awhile just been trying to pull Walter thru his ordeal but he passed last weak. after daily soakings and mineral oil I could not get him to pass the impaction was really hopeful that he would pull thru after so many weeks. Kinda feel like a bad Tort Dad wish i new where i went wrong or what he ate the could have caused it.

It might have been a twisted intestine. If that's the case, there's nothing you could've done to save him (it requires surgery).

I'm so sorry that you lost Walter. This is a hard thing to have to go through.

I must say thank you all for the support when Walter came down with this and the condolences after his passing. This forum is a great place for information and support and just to get to know the great people.

Sorry to hear this sad news. You did the best you could, and nursed him through his final days. I am sure Walter was aware of your love and concern.

My sincere condolences.
