Abby freaked all of us out on Friday evening. As usual, Uno and Abby gobbled their dinner of salmon, brocoli and sweet potato mash with chicken breast bone as dessert. As I was cleaning her up after dinner, she made soft squeaking sounds and looked nauseous. Then she puked out a gooey liquid mass tinged with blood. She was restless and started pacing the room, in obvious discomfort. Then she puked again, and again. As I was speaking to the staff in ARC to fix an -appointment, she puked the fourth time - again tinged with bright red blood.
We rushed her to ARC where the vet Dr Lim x-rayed her throat and tummy. The bones were pictured nestling in her tummy and there were no perforations or bones stuck in her throat. Then what caused the bleeding and blood in her vomit? Dr Lim suspected gastritis or abrasions caused by the diatomaceous earth that I started feeding both pooches just the day before.
It was almost midnight when we reached home. Despite being given a pain-killer jab and fed medicines to soothe her tummy, Abby slept fretfully throughout. Her tummy was also very bloated, the vet said there is a lot of air inside her stomach. As I slept next to her, I was hoping to catch a whiff of her fart. Unfortunately, there were none...
