If any of you have been in the Health board, you may have seen my posting about Pipsqueek. I brought him to the vet yesterday because he was constipated. It is worse than expected.
Pip is receiving a second enema. He ate overnight, and has passed small amounts of stool, but not enough to send him home. An xray is next, looking for a blockage.
My anxiety is overwhelming. I've never heard of an animal dying of constipation, but I have heard of them dying of a blockage. Why is it, when a child is sick, the parents are to sit by their bedside and hold their hand and be a part of the medical treatment. But for my fur-baby, I have to leave him in a 3'x3' cage and go to work like nothing is wrong?
Please send some of those miraculous vibes to help him!
