Max is back home after a long morning in the ER. They did blood work and took an x-ray but could not tell from the x-ray if there was anything other than food in his stomach. So, they gave him barium and said that if is was food it would absorb the barium but would surround something else like Nylabone. That showed nothing unusual so then they watched it move through the intestines but still nothing unusual. He was dehydrated to they gave him fluids and sent him home with medicine to help coat his stomach. He is on chicken and rice for the next 2 days. They were almost certain it was the Nylabone but thankfully it must have all moved through his system. It sure did a number on his digestive system though. So, Max is home feeling kind of tired and he has a swollen neck from the iv fluids. Thankfully it turned out better than I thought. I will never have another Nylabone in this house again. A $1.99 chew bone ended up almost killing my Max and it cost us a $608 ER bill. I can't believe they are on the market when they can cause such harm to our babies. |
