 Veruca is having surgery in the morning!
I posted this on my previous thread but I thought if the title was better people may respond...
I took Veruca back to the vet today because she vomited bile again this morning (3rd time) and they x-rayed her. It turns out that 1 of 3 pieces of flip flop she ate 3 weeks ago has not passed through her and is partially obstructing her GI tract (in the stomach). So they're keeping her overnight on fluids and tomorrow she is having surgery to remove the flip flop. I am a nervous wreck and super distraught since I feel bad, Veruca is already scared of the vet and shakes when I bring her to the office.
The surgeon is calling me in the morning, are there any specific questions that I should ask him? I am a dog surgery novice (other than her spay). She has to stay over night tomorrow also and possibly the next night to be monitored and I have a medical school exam Friday which I cannot focus on at all. Thanks for any advice. |
