This is poor Lilly at the vet with her I.V. and all.....
Lilly may be furry all over, have four legs and a tail and eat anything we drop on the floor (literally) but we still love her dearly and she is a member of our family. This past week Lilly stopped eating and drinking and was getting sick a few times a day. She has had this happen before and it ended up that she just had an upset stomach so Hays was hesitant to rush to the vet this time. On day four, I insisted on taking her to see the doctor. It took the veterinarian a day or two to figure out that this was no minor illness. After an x-ray, scope and surgery (yep, we're broke) they found part of a sock in her stomach and a few inches down her intestine.
Needless to say, Lilly had to stay at the vet for several days to be monitored after her major surgery. We are happy to report that she is at home and resting well and is expected to make a full recovery. From now on I WILL be taking inventory on all socks in our household!
