bone and all...
This is my 9 lb terrier, AGAIN.
So I took her to the vet, AGAIN.
And, she got an x-ray, AGAIN.
And, she got fluids, AGAIN.
But, the good news is that the turkey leg had meat and skin on it, and she chewed the bone pieces into tiny fragments and those fragments have moved into the intestinal track. She just has one hell of a stomach ache.
Anyway, I read about this prior to my decision to take her to the vet but I wasn't about to experiment on a dog that is only 9 lbs. and dehydrated. So, after the vet told me her findings, explained everything that they were going to do and what medication they were putting her on, she giggled and said, I know you are going to find this strange but....
Dog ate bone or sharp object. Cottonball remedy works!
^ That is pretty much what she told me, but, instead of using all Half & Half as a dipping base, she suggested dipping some of the cotton ball pieces in Vaseline or A&D Ointment.
She is now sleeping in my lap after having her cotton ball/hairball wet dog food formula.
And going
*To the man who had to put his pal down tonight, if you read here, you and yours are in my prayers for the loss of your black fury friend*
Your loss put our emergency into perspective, that although our pup has cost us a great deal of money since coming into our home, she got to come home and we will enjoy every moment of time we are so fortune to be given. Hopefully, you can find room in your heart to make a home for another pet in need.
