Poor TinkerBell, first it was getting mauled by the Chow at the grooming shop and now this.
Tinkerbell was spayed on Wed., Thursday evening she developed a hernia. I rushed her to an emergency vet, they took x-rays and noticed metal in her stomach, along with a hernia.
She went into surgery about 1am this morning, I received a call at 3am. Surgery went well, they repaired the hernia.
Guess what they took out of her stomach????
Anyone????
They saved them in a plastic bag for us, there were 15 ponytail holders in her stomach. They are the kind that have a small piece of metal on them.
We are soooo lucky. Had these gotten in her intestinal track, they probably would have had to take half of her intestine out.
So now our entire family in on red alert. There is to be Nothing on the floor...no shoes,clothes, Ponytail holders!!!!
The surgery cost us 1,000 dollars, but saved us from permanent heartbreak!
That my friends is priceless!
