Prayers Please...Bailey is sick :(

[Queen of Poop]

I am sorry she has to have surgery. You are NOT a bad mom. It was simply an accident, and look at all you are doing to make her well. I hope it goes well and she is back to normal very soon. Prayers and good wishes from my furkids and I.

[Sevens]

Thank you for saying that.

I just still feel like this is all my fault, like I should've known better. But then part of me thinks....this was the first time ever I have used tampons and I am almost 28 years old. I never thought Bailey would get into them.

I should've known better....

She goes into surgery within the next 20 mins. Please keep up the prayers.

I'm so scared...

Prayers for Bailey, and kudos to your parents for helping financially. They are great to do that!

Oh, Stephanie, I have only just seen this! Please don't blame yourself. It is just how some dogs are and you can't think of everything. Bob has, and still does, eat all sorts of things, it really is a wonder he has avoided having to have surgery like Bailey up to now.

Sending prayers and positive thoughts for Bailey. And big hugs for you and Brian.

Well, she is out of surgery. It was a bit more bad than they had thought.

They pulled not a tampon, but a pad out her. It was partially in the stomach and the rest was bunching up 2 to 3 feet of her intestines. Her intestines were bruised.

They have her on 2 IV antibiotics, painkiller, and steroid to ward off shock. They also have her on fluids.

Brian and I have to go after work to transport her back to the ER vet so she can be monitored through the night. Then I go first thing in the morning to transport her back to the regular vet. Provided she makes it through the night and morning ok, I should hopefully have her home tomorrow afternoon.

So right now, I am on the phone getting an estimate from the ER vet. My boss has said she will work with me as far as time off is concerned.

I will keep you updated. Thank you so much for your prayers!

I hope that everything is going well. Poor Bailey, you are all in my prayers. My furbabies send get well kisses. You are not a BAD MOMMY, you are doing everything in your power to help her, now that's a great MOM! I'm sure she knows how loved she is. Keep us posted on her condition.

I hope Bailey recovers well.. that bill sounds horrible, your parents are so nice! she sounds like a pretty young and healthy dog so I'm sure she will be fine

you're NOT bad mom, you are an awesome mom for doing all of this for her, and that could've happened to any of us!

[Sevens]

Well, the day just keeps getting worse and worse. Now we have to tap dance with the credit cards on paying the bill because my parents are tied up right now and can't call the bank....because my grandparents got in a car accident this morning. And we have to have the $950 before we take Bailey from the regular vet to the ER vet.

They didn't want to tell me because they knew my head was tied up in Bailey and her surgery today.

Thank god they are ok, but they are trying to deal with all that from my grandparents, plus my mom was watching my uncle's 4 kids today.

[shutterbug0303]

Oh geez! So much going on with you. I hope Bailey hangs on tight tonight. A lot of rest and gentle love. {{{hugs}}} to you, Bailey, and your family while you guys are dealing with everything.

HOLD ON IN THERE BAILEY!

I have my hat off to you for doing so well through this whole procedure Stephanie! You are not a bad mommy, everybody blames themselves sometimes when it really isn't your fault! It's ok!

I hope everything will take the recovery road...for EVERYBODY...your grand-parents, your parents, you and of course for Bailey!

I send even more prayers to you! I wish I could help...maybe some of us Pet Talk people could send you some donations...I am ALL up for that!

[Sevens]

Oh, my god, you are such a sweet person. We will get by with tap dancing with the credit cards, or kiting a check, whatever we have to do....hell, my dad could probably withdraw cash and drive it up here, we are two hours drive from them.

While I appreciate the thought of donations, we don't need donations, but we do need prayers and positive vibes.

(((HUGS)) to you all!

My daughter wants to be a vet, I can't imagine her every being able to say you can't have your dog till we have the money. I guess they have to do that but it seems like they could give you a payment plan...even an autopayment from a credit card.

[molucass]

Sending healing vibes to Bailey, and prayers to you for your sweet girl. I hope every thing works out.

[Sevens]

We got her all set up at the ER vets...they are one block up the street from my regular vet. They will provide overnite constant care for her tonite.

I couldn't stop crying when I saw her, I felt so bad. I have pretty much promised her anything she wants (short of her having her own car) provided she gets better.

I sang to her and petted her and cried on her soft ears.

I did take some pictures of her at the ER vet, but I am a bit too exhausted right now to post them. Plus, we do need to pay attention to Guinness, he's a little lost without her right now. Also, we may get snow tomorrow or the day after, so I need to go to the grocery store and get everything I will need for Bailey, mainly white rice and fresh chicken to boil.

((Hugs)) to you all. I'll keep you updated.

Oh Boy ......... I was really hoping it was all OK.

So sorry to hear about her going to the ER vet, and being operated on.......... but glad she is OUT, safe and sound ....

{{{hugs]}}} to you ...... and Guiness .....
