36 hours of NO, MAL!

[tielan]

Mal ate a cooked chicken wing bone on Monday night. It's been an up and down 36 hours.

Right now, she's at the vet getting an x-ray, some bloodwork, and some fluids into her. And if the x-ray shows that she did eat the bone and it's lodged in her digestive system, it could get expensive...

*sigh*

Let's hope it doesn't come to that.

EDIT: just got the call from the vet. She found the bone - looks like it's been chewed pretty thoroughly into small pieces and should pass through with only a little discomfort. Still, in the meantime it's irritating Mal's digestive tract. She's getting fluids into her, and will probably get soft food for a while yet (Smokey is going to be UNHAPPY that Mal gets the nice food).

If all goes well, she won't cost any more than she already has. Which is still quite a bit.

NO MORE BONES, MAL! NO!

Oh no :(

Fingers crossed it turns out well. Keyleth did something similar not too long ago, so I very much understand.

*Hugs* Glad to hear the outcome is positive.

Oh, so glad there is no further emergency!

Oh chicken bones are SO dangerous. I'm glad that it's turning out that she chewed it up well!

With dogs it usually turns into a nightmare, because they tend to swallow things without much chewing.

At the emergency vet on Tuesday night, I was just paying the bill when the lady next to me at the counter saw Mal in her cage and asked "is she doing okay?" I explained Mal had munched a chicken bone and she went, "oh no! Mine, too!" Except hers was a large sized dog and she was having to pay $$$ for emergency surgery and didn't have anything on her but $40 in cash. I've thought about her a couple of times in the last few days. Hope her doggie pulled through.

Glad it'll be okay.
