Penny,
I totally understand. A few months ago, Moxie was showing the same symptoms and we took her to the vets where they Xrayed and showed something was blocking her intestines. So, we decided to open her up. Now, our "show" vet has no issues with owners being in the operating room during surgery so I sat there while she took out Moxie's intestines and examined every square inch of them. Believe me, there's something weird about seeing your puppy's insides outside her body!

The surgery found that she had displaced her spleen -- probably from the vomiting -- and whatever else had been in there was gone. So, after 37 staples and emergence from the anesthesia, Moxie and I drove home. Fortunately, she had no further issues, recovered completely and quickly and I removed the staples myself. But you can bet that we keep our eyes on her wherever she is. I would rather remove stuff from her mouth than from her insides.

Keep an eye on Abby. Like Moxie, there may be Beavers in her family tree !
