| Sissy at the Pet Emergency Room I feel so bad tonight. Sissy got into my briefcase. She can pull down the zippers! She ate some sample meds from work , empty capsules all over along with vomit when I walked in. I was so scared. I think she is out of the woods now. They had to water her through her SQ tissue. She can't eat until tomorrow. What a nightmare. Did you guys know to call animal poison control, it costs $55.00 just to find out how dangerous whatever your pet got into is. If I didn't call from home and the emergency room had to call, they add on more on top of that just to call, then the walk in fee, then whatever they had to do. I feel like I got off cheap. A little under $200 but I just spent $500 a week ago today to get their shots updated and also both got spayed. They didn't even get their stitches out and poor Sissy's belly must have hurt vomiting so many times. Her BP dropped, she asperated on the vomit and began dehydrating. The bubbles in her back they say is normal. I just brought her home and I am afraid to sleep. I feel so guilty. I never thought they could pull down zippers. I am going to stay home from work tonight and baby proof my house again. I thought I did this already. Everyone be careful and double check your homes. This is so sad to see her little body with no energy (she is 5 pounds) Her regular Doc will see her tomorrow.

| I am so sorry to hear about this. I hope she is feeling better by tomorrow. I can't understand why dogs would eat pills. You know, if she needed to take them it would take three people to get her to swallow one! We're human we can only be so careful. This morning I woke to see that I had never eaten the Baby Ruth (stole from the Halloween candy bucket) that I took to bed with me. I felt really lucky my Yorkies had not decided to have a midnight snack since it was within their reach! |

| Hi and thanks everyone, Last night I was besides myself, she looked so "taxidermies" like Tonight her labored breathing has settled some, she is still dehydrated so I may take her in for more shots to her sq tissue in the morning. I took off most the day from work, walked her in her carriage for the most part, so Chloe could eat & drink normally but Chloe did not want to either. Good for me Chloe brought me the pill at the door when I came in or I would not have known right away. Besides the labored breathing & dehydration, her blood pressure was low and they think she asperated on the vomit to bring the medication back into her system afterward. She supposedly was not going to vomit anymore today but we had 2 episodes. I think I am more in control of myself now, but last night I could not stop crying. All I could think of as she rested was to sign on to Yorkie Talk. I just could not control myself, then the poison control and the ER vet said I HAD to call my private vet office this morning and explain to them what happened, as I did I broke down again. I am usually excellent in emergency situations. Not out of the woods yet but she is breathing to where I can hear it again. I can't wait till I can see her little chest go up and down again. I like what you said about taking 3 people to have her take a pill, how true that is. Unless it has peanut butter on it, I can't get either one of them to take any thing I want them too. Did I mention that she actually unzipped my briefcase???? Geeze, I have had to get into it at work and needed to use both hands! ok, not crying, in control, I know she'll make it, Got a break in my left shoulder, she is resting next to Chloe & I know Chloe will come in here to call me IF Sissy needs me, so I guess all is well for now. Does anyone ramble on when their nerves are shot? OK I am stopping the rambling right now thanks again everyone AND Jodie, thanks for teaching me how to make a thread only the day before, I needed that yesterday. It's like talking to a good friend only in bunches..... good night everyone
