i think i need to take a giant Thank You card and maybe a huge basket of muffins to my vet's office tomorrow. i've been to many vets over the years, but never have a met a more loving, caring group of people. Thank you for all the kind thoughts. i feel so bad that Quackers had to suffer at...

i just spoke with my vet. She had some very sad news. Quackers made it through the surgery, but then crashed as she was coming out of the anesthesia. They did CPR but couldn't save her. Seems she had ingested some small rocks, some were sharp, perforated her stomach, and went into the...

Haven't heard yet. i don't want to call and bother them. i know they are probably busy. My vet will call me when she has a chance. Hoping it's good news.

Thanks so much for the well wishes. They are usually out of surgery by 2:00-2:30pm, so i should hear shortly after that.

i have the best vet in the world. She called to say that they have another vet there, excellent surgeon, but he would like more experience. So he will do the surgery at no cost to me. She said that Quackers looks a lot worse today than yesterday and that she may very well pass on her own...

Thank you. i think that is a wise approach. i'll call the vet and get a tech appointment for them to show me how to give the sub-q fluids, then bring her home. She deserves a chance.

Quote: That certainly makes sense. i think my vet was using the barium in the same way. She said it coats the stomach and would hopefully grab whatever that is and help carry it out. But if the barium is just coming back out her mouth, it's not getting through. The other thing that had...

That is a mystery. i've seen my ducks pick up things, like rocks, move them around in their mouth, then put them back down. But, we have a bigger problem. When my husband picked her up so i could do the fluids, the barium she was given yesterday just poured out of her mouth. So, she must...

Thank you for your healing thoughts. We have her in the office with us. Every time i hear a squirt, i check.

i have a runner that's been feeling poorly. Brought her into the house to hand feed. Then she stopped eating. Got her to the vet yesterday and they took an x-ray. She has something in her stomach. My vet said it is either metal or a rock, as rocks have metal in them, as those are the only...
