Hug Ur Pets....

Early this evening Raja started acting funny. She was doing a lot of pacing, not able to lay comfortably for more then 10 minutes, dry heaving, etc. Something told me it was bloat. She climbed up next to me and burrowed her head behind me as she often likes to do, but this time when I tried to touch her belly to see if it was hard, she growled at me. Never in the three years I've had her has she growled at me. So, I raced her out the back door, into my Jeep and off to the 24 hour vet clinic. There she was diagnosed w/ bloat (her stomach flipped) and taken into emergency surgery to correct the problem. While in surgery the vet found some abnormal growths that were biopsied. I won't know the results for at least 5 days. Surgery went well, she was coming out of anesthesia when I saw her. I kissed her head, rubbed her scrunchy face between her eyes and told her I love her. Keep her in you thoughts tonight/tomorrow & hope that she pulls through these next critical hours.



One Love,
MJ
