Prayers/Positive Thoughts, Please...

[Jenk]

My bun,Zoe, was hospitalized yesterday after x-rays revealed a pocket of gas in her lower intestinal region. The x-rays can't reveal if it's just gas (due to slow gut motility)--or a genuine blockage (possibly caused by the Zoom-Groom tooth that she ate a few weeks ago).

Please say a quick prayer/hold a positive thought for her--for the situation to be solely gas due to irritation, which is much less risky/concerning to put right.

Thank you,

Jenk

She hasn't passed any poop as of 4 pm today. The techs. had her out for 45-60 min. to gether moving; Zoe had other ideas: sitting aroundand/orthumping a lot before running back to her ICU cage several times. Stubborn, I believe, the tech. called her with a laugh.(That's my girl!)

The tech.let slip that Zoe was "munching on a green." Holy hell...I'd told the vet yesterday, "Feed hertimothy hay only; lettuceupsets her gut very easily." So the tech. promptly replaced the greens with hay. (She remembered that Zoe's chart statesto feed hayonly;employeeswho opened this morning missed this detail.)

On one hand, I'm happy that Zoe's eating. On the other hand, I'm freakin' out because Zoe's ate God-knows-how many greens (lettuce), which could work against the treatment being given. (And as if I want to pay more money to keep Zoe hospitalized potentially due to a tech.'s mistake. :X)

I want to visit Zoe tonight, despite the fact that it'll be a pain to get there. (The normally-40-min. drive becomes mayhem during the Chicagoland rush-hour.)

Honestly, I'm thisclose to bursting into hysterical laughter (i.e., the "nutty" kind).

Oh no, I'm so sorry you're having such a rough ride at the moment.

I'll be thinking of you and Zoe and I hope she gets better soon.... Come on Zoe, POOP!

:hug:

I sure hope that Zoe improves quickly, and that the vet tech got ripped a new one for ignoring the chart notes!

ray: for Zoe and for you!

"At the moment" translates to a full year's time:It's been one year of this insane round of vet visits and bills. Thus, I feel spent (no pun intended).

Maybe I ought do a poop dance--kind of like a rain dance, only it would be for the production of, well, you know....:?

 

[pumpkinandwhiskersmom]

Hey, Jenk....just tell me the steps, and I'll do a poopdance from here, too!

I don't know about the tech. getting ripped a new one; I assume thathis/her co-worker (the person to whom I spoke on the phone) isn't in a position to admonish an equal in the workplace.

Still, I'll ask to catch the vet for a few minutes during tonight's visit to ask how many greens she may have been fed--if only to clue her in that a boo-boo was made.

The steps? Heck, I'm just gonna improvise. :biggrin2:

I dunno how easily Zoe stresses, yet I feel that this is vital to her recovery. You know your baby's personality best. Am adding Zoe to my prayer list !!!

 

[myheart]

Please bring back some good news from your visit. Did she perk-up when she saw you, or did you get the butt for leaving her with strangers?

Prayers for every one in your household, human and bunny alike.
