We picked Henny up from the vet's yesterday and now I will officially not be going on a vacation ;). We were playing guess the vet bill on the way to pick her up. My high was $500 I was the winner but still off. $676.76 was the final total. Well worth it though.
They're not really sure what went wrong with her. No blockage for sure. They had her on a couple different antibiotics and antiemetics (vomiting) and it seemed to do the trick. She's going to be finishing up a round of clindamycin at home as well as eating some special low residue food (she loves it) and fortiflora (to help regain intestinal bacteria) for the rest of the week. Her farts stink in a whole new way, let me tell ya.
When we adopted her at the begining of Jan she weighed 139lbs. Her admission weight was 127lbs. We'd been trying to widdle her down to a healthy weight but wow that was a lot to loose in a short period. I think her ideal weight will be about 130lbs. She's definately happy to be home. First thing she did was hop on Josh's lap (something she never does) and lick/nibble his chin (something she does when she's super excited).
She's really Happy to see Reggin (don't know if the feeling is mutual :rolleyes: ) and play bowed and pawed at him outside this morning. He wasn't amused. Zoe and her have been growling a little bit back and forth at each other, not really sure what's up with that but right now their sleeping together so it can't be too serious.
Thanks everyone for the well wishes!
