Yes, Arabella is fine.
She bounced back quickly after being flushed with fluids, among a few other things (like potassium chloride supplements and sugar water.) Trixie is now being terrorized, wishing just a little bit that Bella’s sudden illness would’ve slown her down.
But, it hasn’t. AND I AM GRATEFUL.
Basically, we have no idea what happened. The vet gave us a few options, such as the possible pill I mentioned previously, or perhaps that bag of marijuana we left under the bed? Because Bella sure did have the munchies.
SERIOUSLY. THE VET SUGGESTED THAT!
We also had a pleasant conversation with the receptionist Saturday night:
R: “Well, she’ll have to stay here overnight and possibly a few more days.”
Mom: “We’re supposed to leave tomorrow morning… we’re only passing through here on our way home to Kansas.”
R: “Yeah, I know, but we can always transport her to your regular vet if we have to.”
From KENTUCKY to KANSAS?? In what, a doggie ambulance? Yeah, we can afford the $700 pricetag this trip to the ER vet cost, but a private ambulance for my three-pound dog? You heard us when we said we live in KANSAS, right!?
No but really guys, all in all the Jefferson Emergency Animal Hospital was wonderful to us, and to Arabella. Both vets we saw were very nice, the receptionist was sweet (albeit a little airhead-ed, but it was 1am), and the two technicians that helped were awesome.
The only reminder that Bella nearly died two nights ago is the patch of shaved fur on her front leg from the IV. Hallelujah!
Yeah, it must have been that bag of marijuana. (LOL)
I’m so glad she’s ok!
