The ball after Maggie (the contents of her stomach):
Well, 30+ hours, 2 X-rays, 9 staples, 1 I.V., a plastic bag of chewed up blue ball, and $1600+, Maggie is home. Maggie had a good night and day at the vet and was given the OK to return home. We picked her up this evening with the following instructions:1. Feed her 1/3 can of "special" (easily digested) dog food three times a day for 3-5 days. Then gradually switch to normal diet.
2. Give her the pain medication twice a day.
3. Don't let her jump or run. (Yeah, right, she's a lab!).
4. Watch the incision site.
5. Monitor for any vomiting or other symptoms.
6. Return in 10-14 days to have ALL NINE staples removed. (Good news - that's at no additonal cost!).
