If he ate river stones and is having diarrhea, he may have a partial blockage. Whether he can pass the stones or not remains to be seen and I would consult with a vet as a complete blockage could occur at any time and result in emergency surgery. Better IMO to do surgery prior to a complete block while Cooper is still in good condition if that is what your vet recommends than to wait til the bowel is total blocked and compromised.
