sigh...
He spent the day at the vet. He was a total goofball and love bug to the staff. They think his antic are charming.
He is so fat. He looks like a pregnant elephant. He is not allowed water until tomorrow, and then in small amounts, like an ice cube at a time. No food at all till wednesday. He is peeing, but no poop yet.
I asked if they were going to xray again before I took him home and they said no, if he starts trying to vomit with out production, then he needs to go to the emergency room.
He is desperately thirsty, but no drinking allowed. I have a feeling I am in for a long night.

I had an absolutely horrible day. There was a fraudulent charge on my debit card-for $573 dollars- and I had a small flood in my basement, which is what I was dealing with when the dogs broke into the food storage. This totally put things in perspective though. I dont care about the money or the basement floor. I just wanted to bring my dog home.

Thank you for the prayers. He is home, not totally out of the woods yet. But he is home with mama.

More prayers and hugs for the boy...Have you tried the acupressure point for bloat.........It often sets my dogs farting away if aI use it and they have a tummy upset....it will do no harm and you will feel you are doing something. I am at work and only have the link at home, But look up acupressure poit and bloat.......Works wonders for me and I often use it in non-bloar scenarios, to get over tummy upsets :hugs: Ronnie

I'm sorry. I know that feeling. When Hemingway came home from his surgery he was incredibly uncomfortable, heavily medicated...and didn't understand what was going on. It was SO frustrating to not be able to explain it all to him so that he could just relax! It's so hard to not be effected by their discomfort. Be patient. Deep breath. It'll all be over shortly, and all will be as it was.
