Well I told you all I would keep you updated on poor Cooper,and his MOM is passing on a warning about *milkbones*which seems to be what brought all this about from everything they can figure.
The POWER of PRAYER knows no bounds!!!!
Vet called at 9-----Cooper vomited violently after the surgery, anesthesia does that to some animals.
He has not vomited for the last 12 hours!!! This is EXCELLENT---every hour he goes w/out
vomiting is what he was hoping for because it is the sign he's healing and responding!
He will keep him on the IV until mid day Sunday when he'll try some solid food.
Don't have to tell you we're going to keep praying he can meet that challenge as well and keep what he eats down...he has to be famished. Coop could eat like a little oinker...he loved eating and his treats.
We'll get another update after dinner. He told us to call whenever we needed to, someone is there around the clock for it no problem. We called last night around 11 to be told he was up and urinated fine:) had some dirreah which was great since he was so constipated for so long and would get his pain med in a bit for a good nights rest. Poor Coop must miss his pillows--he couldn't have them after the surgery---we'll ask if he can have them when we talk to the Dr tomorrow morning (he will call daily at 9 w/a report). Coop loves his 2 pillows and needs them for his naps/bedtime.
A better day for Coop and everyone who's been thinking/sending good thoughts and prayers. Thank you all and please keep the prayers going til we get the biopsy report---if they're normal Coop will have a much easier recovery. God Bless you all. Much love, Elaine, Sash and family
warning!!
Our Vet is going to give me a sheet to take to the pet food store where I got the milkbones for a refund....he said they definitely created some of his problem for the wheat he is now allergic to??? Just hope telling people what his Vet said (they're crap--worse thing you can give a dog) can help another dog from going thru this. Who knew?
That may give them second thoughts on recommending the sale items (I just remembered they were on sale for $7.99 for a 5lb box (which i don't have cause I put their treats in empty 3lb coffee cans w/lids to keep them fresh.
