Our pooch hasn't been well the past while. Then a few days ago, she stopped eating and drinking. Gulp!
We took her to the vet and she's got an inflamed section in her throat. Really inflamed. Like the size of a plum. It's pushing her esophagus forward, it's so big. The vet thinks it might have been a stick that punctured and then got infected. Stupid sticks.
These days $650 will get you a vet inspection, a couple x-rays, blood work, and four medications. It was kind of them to throw in clipping her nails for free. (It never hurts to ask).
She's now eating soft food, and has gained some normalcy back. Although she's still hiding/resting under our bed half the time, she's also been spotted humping her bear toy and visiting our neighbours.
We're hoping the swelling goes down with the meds. If not, we may have to remortgage our house (the one we just actually purchased last Friday - yay! we're house owners!).
