The update

Unfortunately, things hasn't been going as smoothly as we could have hoped.. πŸ˜“ After his teeth cleaning, he was discharged and got a clean bill of health (they even took x-rays of his teeth and an expanded blood work test to check every organ - everything came back perfect) πŸ™πŸ» As soon as we got home, he puked - we were told this was normal as he's pretty sensitive and we just needed the anti nausea meds to work.. He kept puking and started having diarrhea, so we called the doctor a few hours later as it hadn't calmed down.. πŸ˜“ We went to one of the clinics in town (the smaller one), where the vet examed him and decided to give him something for his stomach - her diagnosis was that the anesthesia had fucked up his stomach, so to just give it time along with the meds... Unfortunately, she'd just run out at the small clinic and asked us to drive to the bigger one.. In the car, he got sick again - and this time he puked blood.. 😡 When we arrived at the big clinic, we told the assistant (who was basically the only one left and holding the place open for us) what had happened on the drive.. She immediately called the vet who told her that they needed to re-admit him to the vet hospital.. It might just be blood that's gotten into his stomach from his teeth cleaning (they were cleaning under his gums as well), or it could be something else... Rn, it's anyone's guess 😭 They've promised to call us as soon as they know anything, but me might need to be there overnight πŸ’”

Not the update I wanted to give, but thank you for the well wishes on my first post , I appreciated them.. and thanks for reading this far.. πŸ™πŸ»
