Good so far, and your's Terry?
Evening everybody. My littliest guy is perking up and starting to feel a little better!
I was having a great day, until my dog decided to steal another, smaller dog's ball and eat it... the emergency vet said it's okay to wait until his regular vet is open tomorrow, but the ball is sitting in his stomach; they tried to make him vomit it up, but it wouldn't come out, so he'll probably need surgery tomorrow.
Kacey I am so sorry to hear that. Hopefully they can have him vomit it up tomorrow.
Apparently, being air-filled, it went down but is unlikely to come up... but his regular vet should charge about half what the emergency vet does - and since the emergency vet didn't think waiting overnight was a major risk, I decided to wait. Right now, he's not showing any symptoms, and is happily sniffing around hoping for turkey... with any luck, he'll digest it enough that it deflates; then he could vomit it up, but from what the emergency vet said, I doubt it. As long as he seems okay, he should be fine til morning; they told me what to look for... I just don't have $3000 for dog surgery if waiting til tomorrow is low risk and the price will drop that much; the surgery is $1800, plus about $1000 for before and after care at the ER vet, and she though it would be about $1000 at his regular vet, and I'm guessing the cost for before and after care will drop similarly. If he starts to show the symptoms she mentioned - vomiting blood, listless, dehydrated - then I'll have to take him back. Otherwise, he'll go in first thing in the morning. I suspect I'm not going to sleep well tonight, keeping an eye on him.
Hey Kacey,
Let's hope for the best for your puppy.
Thanks, guys... here's hoping!
I will keep my fingers crossed and my thoughts on you and your pup tonight Kacey. Here is hoping all is well for him.

Oh, Kasey, so sorry to hear about your dog. I hope something can be done...like vomitting the ball up!
Absolutely! I said the same thing last night/ this am,. I guess the powers are away enjoying the holliday, so, it's a temporary free pass.

Nope, works good for me... (I am on DSL)
I wish the trolls would be off.
Hello Kacey, Angel, How was the holliday for the two of you?
