I posted here in the past under the name Pocketsheep. Don't know what happened to that account, but I'm back.
Anyway, Bella is having exploratory surgery. I came home yesterday to find she'd eaten, and vomited, a small piece of decorative ribbon. She seemed back to normal; eating, playing, using the litterbox, and drinking normally.
Today I came home to find she'd vomited again. She was crying for her food as usual, though, so I fed her. She ate a small amount and five minutes later, she vomited it right back up. She ate a bit more after this however, and drank some water.
I called our regular vet and made an appointment for tomorrow morning, since that was the next time they could get me in.
An hour later, Bella PROJECTILE vomited the food and water she'd had. At this point, I knew something was VERY VERY wrong. I called our vet back for the number to the emergency vet. I called and they said to bring her in right away.
We get to the vet, and they take X-rays and bloodwork. The X-rays showed what looked like hair elastics. Three of them to be exact. I could not figure out how she'd managed to get ahold of them since I keep my hair elastics in a drawer. They took her for surgery right away.
My husband and I got home and sifted through her toy basket. We found five more hair elastics. How she got them, I have no clue. We cleaned out her toy box and took everything out that could even remotely be harmful for her. Mice with tails, long dangly toys, etc.
I am so scared right now. Has anyone else gone through this? It's going to be a long night. I feel like a very irresponsible parent. I just hope we caught it early enough.
