Possibly the color is just bile as she is probably obstructed and this loch ness monster is taking all her nurishment.  Digestive juices can take on different colors...not to worry as long as this THING as been discovered.... ..LUCKY GIRL!!   Good vet!!   She will be herself soon.  I am glad you took the time, energy and money to investigate this.  Kudos.

All you need to take your dog to Canada is his current rabies vacine.  I cross all the time without a problem....the y have been very nice.  And a dog too young for vaccine only needs a vets letter stating the dog is too young.  I didn't have a problem with either.

After hearing what others are paying for vet bills I guess I can never whine about what I have to pay.  I have a farm vet up here in Cook, Minnesota.  They have their office in their basement.  I have been going to them for years including having had surgery on a couple of my beasties.  I don't think I have ever paid over $100.00 for a vet bill.  I go and have annuals done on both my dogs...sometim es even three of them at a time and it costs about 60 bucks for all shots and tests!!!  Can't beat that.  And, I like the vet besides.  It is a husband and wife team and I like them both.

This Christmas my siblings and mother rented a house on a lake up here in northern Minnesota so that we could all be together as mom's house was sold and we have no gathering place big enough now.  Well,  nephew had brought along from Chicago his black lab, Dakota, and his yellow/chocolate lab, Minnesota ( Minnie).  They were romping in the bedroom and Minnie was gashed on the end of the bed frame...the bed hadn't been made right....she got two very large gashes...one in her arm pit and one on her hip!!  Now, try and get a vet on Christmas eve!!  Well, they did..to a tune of $250.00....which really isn't bad...but ya just don't need more expenses, right?  Anyway, poor minnie spent the evening roaming the house wearing an Elizabethan collar!  Poor beastie....she is sooooo pretty.   We gave her pain meds to see if she would settle down and sleep...no such luck.  Poor thing kept running into furniture and people all evening long.  Who would have thought to look for that kind of hazard!!   It's a good thing that I left my beasties at home.....we thought it would be a bit two much since my sister had also brought her beasties.   I know Mike would have had a hay day with that collar!!!  Would have tried to drag miss minnie all over the house!!!!

I'm Jealous!!!!!!  Mikey would LOVE to have a dog bigger than a frozen poop to play with!! What a precious face!!  AND...now you will be able to make a fur coat of your own with the little hairs left allllllll over the house!!  TEE HEE!!

I thought you guys were supposed to be nice!!!  arrrrrrrgggggg ghhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!
hooked!!!!!!!!!  drat drat double drat!!!!!!!!

shana.....I used to work with someone like that at work...she made life miserable.  I finally had to close in my little circle around me to just my boys and I and figure out what was the best thing for me.  The hospital had spent 8.000.00 on training me and said I had to give them 2 years at least, but made me sign no contract.  Well, when this b...ch like you say was making life difficult for all of us I had to make a decision that was right for us.  I had lost almost 20 lbs in stress, etc.  Well, when the hospital where I work now made me an decent offer to come and work for them I decided to take it much to the chagrin of the administrator,,,but I seriously think he understood.  We have patients wherever we go, shana, and they all need us.  It is a good thing.  Good luck...those kind of people are very scary.    mary
