Literally! Today the girls have been taken to the vet for desexing after nearly not making it!
Yesterday they both had a reaction to some brisket bones I gave them. Sally just not feeling well and Leia vomiting. After a quick trip to the vet and a call to grandma (my mum) to look after them, Leia's anti vomit needle did the trick. They slept it off all yesterday and last night and were as spritly as normal this morning.
The vet was going to do the pre-op blood work to check their blood/sugar levels as they hadn't eaten since Wednesday night and he didn't want to run the risk of them reacting to elective surgery if we could just put it off until they were 100%. But the blood tests were going to say whether they were 100% and no call yet to say it's not going ahead, so I guess they were okay!
So, fingers crossed for the girls! We decided to go the drip and pre-op blood work because I couldn't live with myself if they didn't have it and something happen just so we could save $100! Expensive vet bill coming up tonight, but at least (hopefully!) they'll be okay.
Lots of careful tummy rubs and cuddles coming their way tonight /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif
