Well Our poor boy Oskar. Trevor took him to the emergency Vet downtown Calgary on monday morning at one am. He was sick from eating some piece of cloth (we thought a dishtowel) And usually he pukes it up no problem within one week. Well, not this time. He was trying to throw up on sunday evening, and then late sunday night. Then he started to cry and whimper when heaving around 12:00 that night. And off trevor took him. So four sets of x-rays showed something stuck in the bottom of his stomach unable to pass into his intestines. And he had surgery on Monday around 6:00 pm. They basically took out his stomach and all intestines and looked at them all, cut his stomach open and took out the material. And it was baby socks. Ok. Excuse me but my son is no longer going to wear socks. you know how washing machines eat regular socks - well i have that same problem with baby socks also and a dog that wants to eat them. So out they go! Nothing but sleepers and pants with feet. Oskar Has insurance to help with the cost of our vet bill. A grand total of $3942.64 YES it's that much. So we get 80% coverage which helps A LOT. Now you can see why no more babysocks in the house? Can't be doing that anymore. Poor Oskar feels pretty sore and is walking in slow motion everywhere as his incision is five inches long. He also has one stitch in his eyelid as the surgeon also removed a small growth on it (NO CHARGE) At least something was free! His spirits did pick up when he got home as he found his ball and picked it up for us to throw. BUT no running, jumping or horsing around for 2 weeks. - Thats going to be hard. I'll have to hide the ball. And see the cone? He's a pro at that as he has had a lot of experience wearing it. He's a toughie My boy Oskar!
