Have Cholo rechecked by your veterinarian. Abdominal x-rays or ultrasound should be done to check for more bits of toy in his GI tract. More importantly, an x-ray may show bladder or kidney stones. Blood work and a urinalysis should also be submitted to assess major organ function and to rule out urinary tract infection.
