This is so unbelievable. I can't believe that I am writing this.... Last night at 9:15 pm, I heard little Ceasar choking. I called my husband and we both ran to him. My husband picked him up and started trying to see what he had in his mouth. Couldn't see anything and I said get your finger down there and check it out. Which he did right away. Ceasar was laboring terribly. His breathing was going FAST. Hubby did mouth to mouth and the heimlich maneuver etc......... we were in a panic. I was calling our emergency vet to let them know we were on our way !!!! We drove at breakneck speed what normally could be a 35 minute drive and did it in about 17 or 18 minutes. It felt like FOREVER. The nurse met us at the door and grabbed Ceasar from us. Took him down the hallway and was back out with him in a couple of minutes. She said they checked his esophagus and said that it was clear. His vitals were ok and his gums were nice and pink. Whatever was lodged either came out or went down. BY THE WAY: WE FOUND A SMALL PIECE OF CHICKEN BONE in the hallway just before we were leaving. Ceasar just went down the hallway as we were slipping into our shoes. We sat in the clinic so that they could monitor him for a while and the nurse said they could xray if we wanted. That would have been $ 400.00 plus and she said it wasn't very likely they would DO much of anything seeing as his vitals etc were fine. So we decided to bring him home and watch over him. He was EXHAUSTED to say the least. We cuddled in bed and I listened to his breathing. I managed to drift off at some point only to be woken up a 5:00 as Ceasar was jumping off of the bed to go use his pee pee pad. AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW . He had a POOP this morning. It wasn't as big as usual BUT it was something. THANK GOD ABOVE. He is eating some tinned mush that I picked up on the way home last night. He lapped a little yogurt for me and has drank a wee bit. The little fella is right at my feet as I sit here typing. Oh, how could I forget. HE KISSED ME this morning after he ate something and that was just the ticked I NEEDED. He hadn't kissed me since before this whole thing happened. WHERE that bone came from is BEYOND me but PLEASE everyone take extra care with bones of ANY kind. I NEVER thought this would happen to US. We are so very vigilant about what lies around for our fur babies to "FIND". YIKESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS, what a SCARE and a half. I am so thankful. Of course Ceasar will NOT be left alone. He is on SUPER DUPER watch for the next few days or so. I have to see EVERYTHING that comes out of that little baby. Oh, I drove our daughter in to school and Ceasar came to GREET ME at the door with tail wagging. I wasn't expecting that. PRAISE GOD !!!!! HALLELUJAH !!!!! THANK YOU to anyone who reads my story and PLEASE send prayers up that he passes HEALTHY poops for us.
I will update for everyone SOON !!!!!
