if she has anymore symptoms i'm going back for the full panel. she's had some tummy issues in the past from eating silly things and since i knew she ate something bad i knew it was most likely from that and she was throwing up the corn silks and pooping them out with the corn kernels. so i guess i knew that made her sick and it wasn't an obstruction or pancreatitis at this point. if it continues even with the meds and rest we'll be back in a hurry. when you work for a vet i guess you know what they would want to do and what the total cost would be with that. i didn't rush into bloodwork because neither I nor the vet himself actually thought we needed it at this point. she needed to stop the vomitting which he did and to rest and let her tummy chill. i would have done blood work should it have been vomitting and not having a clue what she ate or did to cause it. knowing what she ate made me not so worried about getting to the bottom of the cause because we kinda know the cause...corn silk and corn...ewwwwww.....i will prob. take her in tomorrow or Friday if she has no more vomit and diarrhea for a recheck with the reg. vet and maybe do a quick fecal smear to look for bacteria hanging around.
