….when your furbaby is sick? You panic?!! Yeah, that pretty much sums it up. And after an episode of exploding vomit (I know TMI) in the car I was seriously concerned.
I’m talking Koda here – my sweet companion/protector/snuggle bunny… He hadn’t been feeling his normal self and had thrown up a couple of times, but not really bad.
I was at the Post Office and Koda in the car when our emergency happened. Unable to reach my regular vet, I called another one I knew and while he had never been seen by them, they reacted really well and said they could see him immediately. I was there in 10 minutes and true to their word they saw him took him right in. Of course with COVID, I couldn’t go in with him. This vet is currently located in a Pet Store so there was no place for me to sit but the staff graciously brought a chair outside their door and I was able to sit instead of stand (which was a major blessing as I wasn’t doing very well at that point – I think I was more nervous than Koda was).
All the tests came back normal and no temp, so maybe a bug of some kind or something he’d eaten??? A shot for nausea, and two scripts later we were done and on our way home. He’s been pretty lethargic and not his normal lively, bouncy, barky self but he’s eaten, pooped and even barked a little.
I was really impressed that the vet’s office called the next morning to see how he was doing. And SO many friends and people on facebook have reached out to me. I am so blessed!
He’s sleeping next to me as I type and He’s doing better – and barked several times today (he usually barks at EVERYTHING). I never thought I’d say this but I was SO happy to hear him bark!!!
