My heart is just breaking right now for my puppy, Millie. Like a fool, I left my purse on our lounge, unzipped with candy inside. Not just any candy-- chocolate covered raisins to be specific. It may sound like no biggie, but raisins can cause kidney failure in dogs. There's no way to tell how much will be deadly. I read that as few as seven raisins can cause serious damage if not caught.
Celebrating her one year birthday.We rushed Millie to the emergency vet tonight. We got her there within 15 minutes of her eating them. They induced vomiting and are keeping her for two days to monitor her. I wonder if she is scared as they hook her up to IV fluids and draw blood from her...
They said the prognosis was good and that she would probably be fine. I don't know what I will do if she isn't though. Even a few hours in this house without her is unsettling to me. I find myself peeking my head up from what I'm doing, just to see where she is, what she's doing, and she's not there. I expect to hear her collar tags jingle behind me as I move room to room, but nothing. I love her so much and I failed her. It was my job to keep her safe.
My Millie is a spot-stealer...
A trouble-maker...
And a constant companion.
And I love you so.
awwwww Millie. :( She'll be fine. I prayed for her!
ReplyDeleteLiv, try not to feel so guilty. You made a mistake - as we ALL do. I know you love your girl. She's going to be fine.
ReplyDeleteAnd like I said, these are experiences from which to learn. If the macadamia nut incident hadn't happened a few months back, you never would've been prepared for how toxic raisins are. So you SAVED her!
We love you Millie!!!
ReplyDeleteI hope she bounces back quickly! What kind of dog is she (sorry, I'm a new reader)? She's beautiful.
ReplyDeleteAF Recruiter's Wife- She's a bloodhound mix. We think the other part of her is great dane, but there's no way to be sure. She's safe and at home now! Thanks for your concern and thanks for reading. :)
