Thanks fellas.
He was perfectly fit and healthy a week ago. I went abroad for one night and he stayed with a friend. He managed to swallow a bit of plastic dog toy they let him chew, and they didn't notice bits were missing. He got worse over a couple of days until I realized something was definitely not right and took him to the vet. It had lodged in his lower instestine, and it seems he's always had a delicate tum as the stitches just wouldn't hold. Poor chap endured two ops but was too weak inside to pull through.
Just glad I was there.
And Fontyyy, good point - was feeling a little raw.
