Hi PaulaB! So you were the one that sent that thunderstorm over here? Well, I sent it on to Bonnie! LOL And I see you are a smart cookie too, stretching your clucker into 3 meals! LOL
My poor little ShuShu got sick last night. Her stomach was bloated and she kept drinking water and throwing up. It was thick and white and looked liked cream cheese. It had us baffled and I looked everywhere trying to see what she might have gotten into while we were out. ShuShu will eat anything that doesn't eat her first.
The house is quite chaotic with all the remodeling going on, but neither of us could find anything she may have eaten. I even checked the toilet paper rolls to be sure she hadn't eaten one. DH checked the dry-wall the workers have installed but couldn't find anything amiss. She was so pitiful, DH took her to the vet as soon as they opened this morning at 8.
She has a fever and her white blood count is high, so the vet thinks she has an infection in her stomach. He gave her a steroid shot and some antibiotics. He told us not to let her have anything to eat or drink until tomorrow. Now I can see not letting her eat, but I think it is cruel not to let her have just a sip of water every few hours. DH disagrees, but I'm going to let her sip just a little water anyway.
Well, just a few minutes ago, I found an empty 12 oz bag of white baking chips behind a box in the living room. Turns out she managed to work the bag out of a box I put my baking supplies in when I had to move everything out of the pantry, and she ate the whole bag! No wonder she got sick as a dog, so to speak. LOL
I feel terrible. I put the box on top of another box and I didn't think the pups could reach that high. I'm just thankful it was white baking chips instead of chocolate chips, which could have killed her. I called the vet and let him know. Oh, and he said a few sips of water, but only sips, would be OK.
She seems to be better now. She's sound asleep right now, snoring softly. I'm headed to the living room to move that box!
