15. Yes! I last spoke to the nighttime vet at 6:00 a.m. this morning.

I knew they'd be changing shifts at 7:00 so I called for an update and it's good news. Even though she still hadn't pooped, the obstruction was far enough into her rectum that they were able to digitally extract what they think was the culprit: one of those little cloth pouches that you put their dog tags in to keep them from jiggling when they walk. There was also some stuffing from one of her toys. Not sure if that's all and they want to keep her until she poops, so they are going to try to feed her and see what happens. Hopefully, I'll get to pick her up tonight.

Thanks for asking.
