Healing vibes for Seeley

Chaplin managed to get hold of a bag of dried red lentils last night, we didn't even realise until this afternoon as we'd both nipped out for a couple of hours and we only realised when we got back they hadn't been downstairs.

I discovered the lentils in their crate, no idea how much they'd eaten but both of them had bloated stomachs. We got them to the vets ASAP and they are both there now, they've both had injections and Seeley is on fluids, I sat massaging Chaplins stomach in the vets while they were sorting Seeley out and she seemed to be doing okay, the hardness has gone so I think it'll pass with her. Always said she had a stomach of steel. They said she' be fine to come home but is obviously staying with Seeley. We've got to check back at 6.
 
They said as well that they don't want to risk surgery on him because he's so bad and his temp is so low, what should we do, how long should we wait before risking surgery anyway?
 
How scary :cry: I really don't know, sorry. Hope someone else can advise. Sending lots of vibes for Chaplin and Seeley xx
 
Sorry, can't help you - in a way I suppose you have to be guided by your vet - but sending vibes.
 
He's gone into surgery :( they said it was just getting worse, Chaplin is doing well and been nibbling food.
