~ Pet Insurance ~

Shoulda' Coulda' Woulda'....hindsight is kicking my butt today. If you have a crazy puppy - get Pet Insurance....period.

Cali has been vomiting allover the house for the past 14hrs or so. I suspect that she's gotten a piece of a toy lodged in her gut and she can't keep anything down. 1) it will either pass; or 2) she's having major abdominal surgery to find and remove.


The Vet just called me - Dr. Wood, (so nice), and Cali does have a little something in her lower colon - so whatever it is - it's almost out.

They are going to give her some fluids and anti-nausea meds - I am picking her up after work and then taking her to the Vet in the morning for re-check Xrays.

~~~~~~~~UPDATE~~~~~~~

Dr. Woods just called me back...Cali passed a pigs' ENTIRELY INTACT leg!
WHEW - are we ever lucky!!!

We now have a $400.00 plush pig amputee!!
(oink-squeal-oink - where'd my leg go?)

Cali's not out the clear yet...I've got to feed her tonight and hope that goes well - then redo some rads in the morning.

I am insuring her tonight.

You should have insured her after she ate her bed and your Canada hat! Glad she is OK!

Tammy said...

Yeah - after... the bed and hat should have been your wake up call!
