After feeding Echo last night, I listened to his stomach and heard rumbling. This was a good sign that food was entering his stomach.
Echo woke up early this morning. We fed him as much hamburger with rice and dog food that he wanted to eat. He needed a full stomach for his x-ray. He wouldn't eat much and was somewhat lethargic. He slept all the way to the vet's office.
The veterinarian called with an update this morning with good news. Echo does not have megaesophagus. He only has a "mass" in his stomach. He will be transferred to Oregon for removal of the foreign body, which is probably a squeaker. He should be home this evening - completely fixed.
UPDATE: The squeaker has been removed and Echo is spending the night at the veterinarian's office. A little extra TLC for the weary puppy.

YAY - good news.
I heard from Barb that they got it out. he is weak but doing well. Poor boy needs a good meal but I suspect it'll be pretty small portions for a little while.
This just tells me once again to always trust your "gut" instints ..
we kept asking "could it be the squeaker ?" and Vets kept saying "no, can't be" !!!!
Surprise,surprise ..
Here's to a speedy recovery and you can be as naughty as you want (for a little while anyways)
