Yes, as soon as I started researching 'cecum', I found out about the whipworm possiblity and spoke with my vet about it. He had already put her on medication for them, just in case. That's after X-rays (with barium), exploratory surgery and three days in the hospital.
We had a couple of red herrings in there that complicated things...the previous choking and then the invisible fence incident. Her problem could have been caused by so many things. He's still not sure what the problem is, but she's home now and appears to be on the Road to Wellville...she ate this morning for the first time in eight days!
As for your Husky, is the ligament partially torn or is it snapped in two? I would think that would influence how necessary surgery would be. At those prices, I'd for sure get some more opinions and estimates. As for the wonderful Alabama winters, well, it was 12 degrees the other morning! I think the current cold snap is on the way out, but it's been unseasonably frigid!
