Shyla is in the hospital
Our sweet Shyla has landed in the hospital after an unauthorized visit to a deer carcass. I saw her nose go up and that special tension that ripples through her muscles when she smells something irresistible. Unfortunately, despite my big efforts to teach her to come to me in these situations, she didn't.
Instead, she went to the carcass. She ate meat and bones. The bones are the problem. The vet hospital is monitoring as the bone shards (hopefully) move through her system. They're also pumping her full of fluids and watching closely in case of the very bad emergency of a shard puncturing the GI tract.

OH dear, one more worry you don't need. But she is in the best place to have immediate care if the need arises. Many thoughts and prayers headed your way for all to be fine.
ReplyDeleteHave been thinking of you all this evening - I continue to hope and am sending vibes that your girl is home very soon!
ReplyDeleteOh Shyla! Gosh, this is the kind of situation I tell the goats "is not really necessary, IS IT?" Oh dear. I will be keeping my fingers crossed and hoping that all goes well (and through) without any further complication. Anesthesia is always a danger with sighthounds, and I know that particular anxiety very well.
ReplyDeleteWill be thinking of you, KB!
