I know there are a lot of people with very serious and expensive issues going on here so my apologies if my problems sound petty. I just don't think my credit cards can take another hit with a vet bill, even with insurance coverage!
Gilly ate what I'm pretty sure was human feces on Tuesday. We were on our usual trail, with her off leash as usual and she went into the deep grass, as she always does, except I got a few feet in front of her and she still wasn't coming - usually an indication she found deer poop, except she didn't come when I called either... So I knew it was somethig more. Wen I got close to her I yelled "get outta there!" and she did and came back to me - her mouth covered in the foul stuff. I didnt go into the grass to confirm my suspicions but now I'm thinking I might have to go back to make sure there wasnt something that could cause an obstruction. She has very good energy, is drinking water, and eating. I haven't noticed her bowel movements but she doesn't have urgent diarrhea. She IS throwing up. Once yesterday afternoon (which was food and water - I didn't think much of it because she often throws up after drinking too much water). Then again last night a few hours after she ate, then not until this morning when she threw up yellows liquid with some froth (and more difficultly/effort regurgitating). What should I do (other than call the vet, which I will do as soon as they open)? And please, be kind to me today. I have only slept 2 hours since yesterday as I've been awake with my very fussy newborn human. Sigh.
