| Wallee | 05-11-2013 02:59 AM | Thank you everyone for the prayers. Seems prayers do work. I came out of my procedure very groggy (seems they must have given me more anesthetic than before) and don't even remember getting dressed to go home, but thankfully pain free.
As for Wallee, he had started to at least drink some water during the day so hubby waited to get me home from hospital before taking him to the vet. :mad: Seems we for sure need a new vet. The vet took a look at Wallee and could see no fever, and said he was only "somewhat" dehydrated. He wanted to run the usual bloodwork, start an iv but..here was the kicker. Since his office would not be open over the next two days, he wanted to ship him to another hospital to spend the weekend. The price for this weekend locked in a cage would be $675.00. When my husband asked if there was an alternative, the vet litterally walked out of the room.:confused:
So with that attitude, hubby brought him home and we cooked him some chicken breast in broth and fed him that. (Although I was sleeping once again) hubby woke me to tell me he ate a rather substantial amount of chicken and drank the broth he added). We agreed to wait till this morning to see how he was as he seemed on the mend. Well, wouldn't you know it? This morning we have our Wallee back. hahaha....first thing he did was run to the kitchen to steal cat kibbles left behind on the floor from the cats eating. He then ran to his pad to pee and then chased the cat. He seems so much better so I am sure it was from something he ate in the yard. Your prayers must have helped a lot too as he was really under the weather. He loves being out in the yard with us, but I do find it very difficult to keep him from picking stuff up as he always has his nose into something and even watching him like a hawk, he usually has something in his mouth already or has swallowed it by the time I cross the yard to get to him. Today I will keep him inside except to go pee and monitor how much he eats and drinks, but looks like we are out of the woods. :thumbup: |
