Say a prayer for little Bella...
 

Bella was at work today with me like she always is. I have the office closed off and gates, etc up. Then there are two double doors that lead out to the shop area ( heating & cooling) well someone left the gate cracked and the double door cracked and within minutes, Bella was out there. I realized it in little over a few minutes. Well when I picked her up she had a face full of cob webs and started acting like she was going to puke. I was like great. The guys have stuff everywhere....nuts, bolts, washers, pieces of this and that. Sure enough Bella got ahold of something. She began gagging and dry heeving to the point she acted like she couldnt breathe. I rushed her right to the vet and long behold.......a washer was caught in her throat. It was out of the site for us to see it, but just barely. They were able to get it out without surgery, but now her throat is very sore and still acts sick to her stomach and if she eats something she acts like she is going to puke it up but doesnt. They gave me an antibotic and a pill to help her from coughing cause he said it was really irritated. Poor baby...she is playing like crazy, but you can tell she just doesnt feel good. She will just stop and come over to me to pick her up and lay her head down on my shoulder. When I gave her the liquid antibotic she puked it up. I have to wait til next time cause they said you never know just how much went down. They also did x-ray to make sure there was nothing else further down in and They said she had a lot of air in her colon due to dry heeving which was normal. I was in tears all the way to the vet, Bella was hacking and trying to puke. I was thinking she was going to die it was so bad. OMG...it was terrible. Thank God she is ok, but please say a prayer for her little throat. Its really bothering her and she acts like she just can't get comfortable.

I can't believe this happened....I'm always soooo careful and drive the guys nuts about shutting the doors. I was on the phone and that as all it took. The guys are no longer allowed behind the counter in my area. This way the one gate will never be open. lol

She was to get her 3rd set of shots today at 5:30 but they want to wait for a few days to give her time to heal from this. She is 16 weeks and weighs in at 2lbs 10 oz.

ps.....guess what the guys are back there doing now since they have no calls? Cleaning!!!!!!!!!!! lol

Sending Prayers and Kisses and A big Hug to you . Get well ,Sweet Bella .

What a nightmare, I can't imagine.
Will pray for little Bella, and for the guys that left the door open because if they were working for me I would kill um. joking of course.

Poor baby!!! Glad they could get it out without surgery.

Bless her little heart! Isn't there anything you can give her to soothe her throat? I would think there would be something. I think I would ask the vet about that. Soooooo glad that little girl will be ok.

He gave her a pill to help with the coughing/irritation that has a pain type relief in it. I don't think he can give her anything else beside that. But you know I didnt think about it...Shouldnt he of said to feed soft foods. He didnt say a word about it...But I'm going to any way. I dont think the poor baby could handle old hard doggy food.

I don't know, but I would think dry dog food would just continue to irritate her throat.

Awww, poor little Bella! :( I am so glad that they were able to get the washer out and thank God there was no serious damage done and that they didn't have to remove it surgically. That poor sweet little girl :( Give her a great big hug for me and I hope that her little throat feels better soon!

Big hugs to you guys and I will check with you later girl to see how she is doing - I love you guys :hug:

Poor baby. I will pray for her to feel better . Goodness they are fast little ones. I am glad the vet was able to get it out without surgery. But, still that is scary. :aimeeyork

oh bless her heart! please give that little sore neck a kiss from me. wonder if some icecream or cold yoghurt would soothe her throat?

so sorry Bella has been thru so much today. Denise - good for you for reacting so quickly. These little ones are fast! Praying she heals fast

Poor Bella I hope she is OK. I would really give the guys a hard time about this, maybe take up a collection for the vet bill. :p

Sure glad that the vet could get the washer out of Bella's throat. Sometimes I wonder what possesses our little ones to put such things in their mouths? Can't tell me that it tastes good or even smells good.:eek: Guess it just has to be experimentation, aye?

Sending good thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery. I'm so sorry, but I'm glad you handled it so quickly. :thumbup:

glad it was not more serious. Hope she feels better soon. Maybe some ice cream would help. Give her a hug for me.

I am so so glad that Bella is OK - it is heartbreaking when they are sick and so helpless.

Poor Bella:( I am sending you tons of hugs and prayers! I am glad you are ok, I was very worried when I read the heading of the thread.

Poor sweet little angel. I am so sorry this happened to her. Make the guys buy her some ice cream and crushed ice. It may make her little throat feel better. And they can buy and ice cream cone for mommy.. to make her feel better. Hugs to both of you.

Awww....poor babeee! I think Kezza had a great idea to give her some cold yogurt! bet that would feel good! My thoughts and prayers are with you both.:aimeeyork

Thank heavens that you acted so quickly to save little Bella's life. I can't imagine how frightening this experience was for you. Please know, that I have Bella in my thoughts and prayers and wish her a speedy recovery back to health. :)

Boy are you lucky! Makes you glad they did not put down rat poison or something.( Check for that! ) Accidents do happen and I think everyone has one in puppydum. I hope that is your last call of scary stuff. I have a 4 month old and we are all very aware of "puppy alert" in the household and love them to distraction so thanks for an additional high alert for us.

BELLA! Dont scare us like that!! Get better quickly Bella.....

Bless her heart. And yours... Quick thinking Mommy!!! I am so glad you thought about her getting into something in the shop.
So glad she will be ok. Prayers being sent.

Sending Prayers and Hugs for Bella....:)

oh Denise, what a scare! I'm glad little Bella is ok. I'll be praying so her throat heals fast. Hugs

Poor sweet baby!! SOOOO glad she's alright. I hope her throat feels better really soon. I bet you were terrified.

Sending prayers your way.

Awww poor little sweetie. I'm so glad she's going to be okay.

Guys are really such big softies when it really comes down to it. :D

Poor baby! And poor mommy too! How scary that must have been for both of you. I'm so glad that she is okay, and they were able to get it out without having to do surgery. Sending wishes for a quick feel better!
