    Lab Board Mojo request for Anthony

    Anthony is at the ER, tossed his cookies this morning and hasn't been able to keep anything down.

    He was monitored all day at the vets and we picked him up tonight as they don't have anyone there at night. We were going to bring him back in the AM for a second X-ray (the first showed nothing. I suspect he's scarfed a rope toy when we weren't looking) He's perky as hell but keeps retching. There was some remnants of toys in the first event but nothing since.

    Some good thoughts please.

    Ugh, we've been in the same situation more than once! Chase and Lark would tell him it's no fun and warn him away from naughty things to eat if they could actually remember their own misdeeds. Sending our best thoughts for Anthony. I hate that repeated retching.

    “Because of the dog's joyfulness, our own is increased. It is no small gift. It is not the least reason why we should honor as well as love the dog of our own life, and the dog down the street, and all the dogs not yet born. What would the world be like without music or rivers or the green and tender grass? What would this world be like without dogs?”

    He's spending the night, back on IV. X-rays show 'foreign matter' but not currently causing an obstruction. They'll monitor in hopes it will pass and put him on some anti nausea drugs.

    PS: how do your vets manage nighttime care. I was lucky this happened on a Thursday when the ER clinic is open 24/7 thru Tuesday. My own vet practice has no nighttime coverage. We would have to move him 50 miles north for nighttime monitoring. The ER clinic that's closer only does 24/7 on weekends. I'm interested in what your setup is.

    Oh dear...I am so sorry to hear about Anthony...it is so hard to see our Labbies not feeling well.

    I love my Vet, but unfortunately, he does not have nighttime care either...and this has always bothered me.

    We do have an emergency ER clinic that does over overnight care..but many of the private Veterinarians in my area do not.

    However, we do have one Veterinarian practice that does offer overnight care but you do have to request it and pay extra for it.

    I hope Anthony is feeling better soon.
