LENNY IS HOME!!!! YAY!
We were waiting in the room and Lenny stormed in like the Lenny he always is…. we saw the x-rays and all the barium had gone into his large intestine and he was FULL of energy! The doc said the new x-rays show that something might still be in his stomach, but could not be sure and said we could keep him there another night and do more x-rays. I said "he looks great, even if there was more conclusive evidance that there was something in his stomach, I would not authorize operating on a dog that was looking and acting as healthy as he was acting tonight.
I brought him home and if he starts acting weird, i'll bring him in right away. Now I definitely know what to look for.
I brought the cartiledge home with me, but I no longer think it is cartiledge... My boyfriend and I are going to do some forensics on it... but he thinks its too big to be cartiledge. He saw it and said something like "cartiledge? what did you feed them, a cow?". ha ha. BUT, About a month ago or so, i came home and found tayda (in the crate) chewing on a piece of something EXACTLY like the thing we got from Lenny today. It looked like she (or lenny) had just puked it up. I remember walking around the apartment trying to figure out where she got it from. I never figured it out. Its like a plastic-y, rubber-y thing. Weird to think it could have been in there for over a month....
Anyway, I"ll figure it out later... i'm gonna go play w/ the B's!!!!
Thanks everyone for the support this weekend. My boyfriend was out of town (on a "guys weekend" in Vermont) and was even out of cell phone contact... and I don't really know many people in NY so I felt pretty alone going through this. Except for the other B owners at the dog park I go to... they were so concerned and offered to take Tayda for me if I needed to attend to things at the vet. But i wanted to keep her w/ me.... B people are the best!
