I'm so sorry! Still praying for your little one and you Shelly!

Praying for your baby and that all goes well and that there will be no need for an invasive surgery in order to fix the issue.

Keeping lil Mylee in my prayers.

I totally missed your post last night about the vet going in and essentially dissolving the obstruction manually and didn't even see that post until now! I guess I just scrolled past it last night. It sounds to me like the vet rolled the dice a bit in order to save opening the gut which can lead to massive infection if she goes septic despite all the antibiotics they cover them with, plus a lot of post-op issues.

I think I like what he did as long as he judged right and if he is right, it can save her a whale of a lot of extra pain, swelling and post-op gas and gut problems. I'll be praying she begins to feel better, shows no sign of infection, wants food soon & has no more issues with this awful foreign object.

Shelley,
Your Mylee is in my prayers. I would steer clear of commentary here that suggests anything but competent care by your vet. Of course vets have to "roll the dice" -- it's called exercising their professional judgment in a case. You seem comfortable with your vet, so that's all that matters.

Oh, I wasn't suggesting the care wasn't competent, though you obviously thought I was. "Rolling the dice" is essentially what vet's and medical doctors do all the time in selecting treatments of one kind vs. another, more invasive procedure and is in no way considered by me to be anything but a professional exercising the art of his profession. Most of the time, I'd rather my professional "role the dice" a bit where possible, go for the less invasive procedure any time vs. unnecessary, uncalled for surgery when he deems it prudent. They can always go back in and do the more involved procedure if absolutely necessary but if not, a lesser procedure can save a lot of pain, infection and problems. What these guys do is never an easy call.

Thank you all so much. I am still waiting for my morning update which has my mind playing games on me as they have been quick to call until today. I'll be calling them soon if I don't hear from them by my lunch break.

Don't let your mind play games. Mine did yesterday with Jasmine especially when I saw a machine being rolled down the hall at where I thought she was. I lost it! She wasn't even on that same floor. Remember how busy all these people can be!

Was just checking for an update hope Mylee is home today

gemy · 08-22-2014, 08:49 AM

Prayers, light and healing thoughts being sent both your ways! Get better Mylee, come home to your Momma.

JstPooh · 08-22-2014, 09:36 AM

I pray little Mylee has a speeding recovery and will be able to go home soon.
