For those of you who had kids before pets... you may think this post is stupid and that I should be over it already. So this is for those of you out there that love your dogs like they are your kids. About a week ago, Chloe started getting sick. It started with some whinning and what TJ and I like to call "asthma attacks". They started getting more frequent and then the throw up started. The poor girl threw up after every meal for a day in a half before we decided to take her to the vet. They ran blood tests to make sure she didn't have any sickness or disease of some kind and then proceeded with x-rays. They found a mass in her stomach that we assumed was raw hide. They had her on a cleanse which basicly meant we starved her for 24 hours before reintroducing chicken broth. She continued to throw up the broth... so last night around 6:00 they did surgery to remove the blockage in her stomach. Here are her battle wounds.
