    Hello,

    I have a five-year-old lab who has been having diarrhoea for the past week. I spoke to our vet who gave me probiotic sachets and said if it continued to take him in on Monday (tomorrow).

    The diarrhoea has continued but seemed to be improving slightly, he is eating and drinking normally but lethargic and passing a lot of gas.

    This morning he appears to have passed an obstruction. I have attached the images (sorry they are unpleasant).

    Has anyone experienced anything like this with their labs? Can anyone identify what is in the images?

    Sorry the pictures aren't showing for me. Hopefully if he's passed all of the obstruction he'll soon be feeling a lot better, the worry is if there is still anything left or it's caused any damage. Definitely a visit to the vet if he's still not right.

    Sorry @maria hession, we can't see your images (think I am a bit relieved actually! :)

    Any problems give your vet a call, even better email the photos across.

    For uploading photos you will need to use a third party hosting site such as flikr then paste the link into the body of your message reply.
