Second time with abdominal obstruction this time. She has Pica and wool sucking disorder. This won't stop happening and I am so sad. She is truly all I have, Please say a prayer for her and me. There s a picture of her and my late dog on my profile page.

Thanks

Melanie

Any update on Snowflake?

mjideas 06/28/2013

Thank you. The update is she is coming home tomorrow and hopefully the obstruction (which may be a large hair ball) will pass. She had a very high white count of 35,000 indicating infection and inflammation. Normal is 15,000.

She's been treated with IV fluids, antibiotics. anti nausea shots and is eating normally, She not only had severe nausea and an infection when she went in but she was severely dehydrated and had lost 1 1/2 lbs too. There were also crystals in her urine from the Friskies dry food I feed her. She has to have wet food primarily from now on.

She is going to be taking Prozac. I feel I need some!

I've learned some things from this vet who is a cat specialist. The price so far is $2500. My income is 1100 a month so that's going to be very tough.

So she is not out of the woods but is feeling better. Thanks for asking

Melanie, so glad Snowflake is coming home, and that bill--oh my.

BMW, so sorry to hear your dog is not doing well. My two cats help me with the PTSD flashbacks and when I have one, they start patting my hands and meowing lightly and I can hear them and feel them through the flashback and it helps bring me out of the flashback. Pets are like gold.
