Thanx, everyone. Surgeon just called with biopsy results. He said he's 99 percent sure it's A FRIGGIN PIECE OF CARROT. He said, "It's a very rare case." So the $7,000 carrot caper will come to an end Monday with surgery. He said he will go through the mouth, cut the soft palate and retrieve it that way as now it is surrounded by soft tissue. If that doesn't work, he will have to go in through the top of the nose.
I always dreamed one day i'd get a big old expensive karat...just never imagined it would be orange and stuck up my poor dog's nose.
Ted is okay. Still miserably breathing but eating and hanging in there until Monday.
I thank each of you for helping us get through this. An entire month of mentioning the choking of the carrot and no one would listen whilst poor Ted endured unnecessary medication, poking, prodding, and two sedations.
I will be back when I hear from surgeon on Monday that he is safe and sound. They are taking him in Sunday evening to spend the night for early surgery. Thanx so much. Wee Ted will be happily sniffing again. So much for healthy treats. luv corrinne |
