LucyBelle in surgery :((((

[LorraineO]

for those of you who care half as much for my lil girl as I do,,, I wanted to let you know she is currently in surgery as I type this,,,,,
Two days ago,, she and her brother Merlin were eating thier milkbone cookies when a flock of birds landed in our backyard,, when Lucy spotted them,, she went into aggressive barkling with a nouthful of cookie and choked.... We didnt think any of it as she seemed fine until later that night,,, she began to cough somewhat.... to be careful,, we took her to the vets and they gave her some meds for her throat as they couldnt see anything but could see she was sore,, and meds for her ear,, she has a small infection in one,,,, well later that night,,, she got worse,,, she coughed more and more and was throwing up a bit,,,, it was like having a newborn in the house,,,,,, well we took her back this morning,,,,
Three sets of xrays, a barium swallow and many blood tests later she was sent to another vet in town for surgery,,, The xrays have shown a malformation in her asophegus that needs looking at right away,,, they warned us it could be a tear or it could be less serious,,, we will find out today.... either way,, it looks as tho she will require special tube feeding for the next while.....

Will keep you posted on my girl and if you could spare a moment,, a doggie prayer would be apprciated by her and my family.
Here she is yesterday,,, not too thrilled of course....

Lucy Belle,

I hope the doctor knows what a precious girl he/she is working on.

Lorraine-Bless your heart for having to experience this. It is obvious how much you love your babies, and any of us who love ours kids can feel your pain.

Prayers going up for your family, Lucy Belle, and Merlin (who probably misses his sissy).

Hugs to you.

[LorraineO]

Well,, after an hour of surgery,,, she is doing okay,,,, her muscle around the top of the stomach that connects to the aspohgus was widened due to food being caught in her upper tract area.. it made the muscles loose and she had a VERY BAD and painful case of reflux.... The dr said she had to be is alot of pain due to the redness and streaking he saw in the scope...... We saw her for a moment and she was pretty dieorientated and frantic due to the drugs... she has to be hospitilised overnight and all day tomorrow and on IV drugs and fluids for the time being.......
thank you so much for your thoughts and prayers.. it is VERY appreciated and needed..... lets hope she will recover completely!!

[pipersmom]

That poor baby girl--but thank Goodness she will be okay.

She will remain in my prayers Lorraine.

[shutterbug0303]

Lucy is home at last,,,, she still has her IV catherder in just in case,, but she drank some water and ate some of the special food she has to be on since she came home,,, so most likely it will come out tomorrow.

We thank you for all your good wishes.... here she is with her Vet Dr Anthony.

[Ginger's Mom]

I am glad to hear that LucyBelle is home, and that she even managed to eat some of her special food. Just rest and take it easy for a few days, Lucy, and I hope you feel better real soon.
