It's 11:25am and I just got off the phone with the vet. Daisy's blood work all came back normal and combined with the fact that she is still not eating and what she drinks comes right back up, he has concluded that it is a blockage and rather than incur the expense and the trauma to her, he has chosen not to do the barium series and do surgery. Also, he did another X-ray and the intestine is even more distended than it was yesterday. He was going to put her on the table right after we hung up and he said the surgery takes about 2-3 hours and that it is a VERY serious operation and she won't be able to come home for 2 or 3 days. I'm hoping that he will come in on the holiday weekend and let us take her home. He is supposed to call me when he finishes surgery. He also made me feel a little bit better when he told me that he has done many of these surgeries and is quite comfortable with it and that peritonitis/death is the worse cast scenario, but wanted me to be aware that it might happen.

And thank you Candy...I am a NERVOUS WRECK!!! I'm only not falling apart because I'm at school and I'm not going to go nuts in front of my students!!

Thank you all for your good thoughts and prayers and I'm sure they will help Daisy in her recovery!!
