After going to the Emergency Clinic they told me the barium they used for the x-rays shows that there wasn't a complete obstruction.
I went to my Vet the following day and he redid the same X-rays. He gave me some medication for me to inject. One being Regulan and one an antibiotic and a muscle relaxer.
The Vet said if she was eating and drinking okay then we shouldn't worry. She got better as soon as I gave her the first shot. She was eating normally again and even running around, so I was no longer worried.
Exactly a week later the Greenie got dislodged from the enlarged area of her esophagus and choked her to death as I was holding her trying to do everything possible for her. She had just been standing there and dropped over on her side. By the time I got to her, mer seconds later her entire upper body had gone limp.
The Vet told me that the new formula of Greenies which I had been using are only 4 % more digestible than the old formula.
I guess Chili lived the last week of her life on borrowed time. She would have died instantly if she didn't have the birth defect. |
Thank you for posting that. We have people on here saying the new greenies are safe. There is no way I would buy that product old or new
