    Batman is very sick

    On saturday night Batman started throwing up, but we figured maybe he just ate something bad cause he throws up sometimes, so we gave him a little dinner and went to bed, but he threw up four times that night and 2 or 3 times on sunday. and he lost a lot of wieght and was really dehydrated and wouldnt eat or drink, even though we forced him to have some water. and he was acting really listless, he would barely lift his head and he wouldnt get up or wag his tail. so we took him to the vet monday morning and they had to admit him and they gave him an IV and took and x-ray to see if he had a blockage and the vet said that she couldnt see a blockage but that a radiologist had to look at it to be sure. so they sent it to a radiologist and said we would have it by the next morning(tuesday) meanwhile we had to bring him home for the night because they werent an overnight clinic, but he seemed like he was doing better so the vet said it was probably not a blockage but it could still be a partial blockage. well in the morning it turns out the the radiologist they sent it to is on vacation and wont be back til the 18th so they send it to another one. it doesnt get sent until midnight on tuesday and it is now 11:48 on wednesday and the other radiologist still doesnt have it and probably wont until this afternoon. and batman had seemes like he was getting better, he was eating a little bit of the boiled chicken and rice they told us to feed him and drinking a little water, but then last night he threw up again and has thrown up 3 times since then. and the vet is working at a different clinic today so we have to pay the emergency fees if we take him there and it was $400 on monday just to take him to the normal one. and the vets are really frustrating because they're saying theres nothing they can do about the xray. So does anyone know anything that might help him or make him feel a little better atleast until the vets get the xray thing taken care of? he seems like hes trying to poop now but it seems like it hurts him to squat down

    update: my mom just left, shes taking him in for surgery. they said they are going to do it even without the xray because if they dont he'll die and it looks like he most likely does have a blockage. and he'll probably have to stay over night. and all of that will proably be about $2000....so

    Oh no, poor baby Batman, we need you to get well, sweetheart! I hope the radiologist can review those films very soon! In the meantime, I'd keep in close touch with my vet, continue to feed the bland diet and make sure he's drinking. You don't want him to get dehydrated, especially if he continues to vomit They the vet give him anything for the nausea and vomiting? LOTS of postiive thoughts coming your way, Batman. Keeping you in my prayers and hoping and for a swift recovery Hugs to you, precious one. Get well soon. Hugs to your mom, too. Please keep us updated.

    Sandra~
