I'm waiting to take my PTSD service dog to the vet right now. I left a pan with bacon grease on the stove, and she knows to leave it alone. I was spacey. Stressed. So I left it on the cool stove, in the back. and went into my room. It cooled, dog was with me. Then she went into the kitchen. I heard glass break. She had knocked the pan and glass lid off the over. She licked the broken glass as I ran toward to her grab her. I called the vet. I am a complete mess. I took an old anxiety med just to calm myself enough to call the vet. I am supposed to watch the dog for two hours until I can get to the vet. I can not stop crying and getting spacey. She is going to die and it is my fault.
 
The vet talked me down. She said to feed my dog pumpkin and some bread and take deep breaths. She said my dog will likely be ok, and "we will do all we can to make sure." I'm on a discounted rate through the city at this vet, they don't make any money on me - so I know they won't do things not needed. And I know they will check her out fully. Being able to trust someone right means so much. I just need my sweet dog to be ok,
 
.... and I feel in my heart she will. Don't be too hard on yourself, you are a great 'Doggy Mummy' and love and care for her as you would a child. Hug her and love her but, hug and love yourself as well.

We are all here praying and hugging for both of you.

I'm not the praying type, but you and your dog will be in my thoughts. Try and stay positive, my mum's old dog once ate a packet of razor blades (plastic and metal) and then went onto eat a pack of cigarettes and 3 easter eggs (foil and chocolate and the cardboard/plastic packaging). She lived for another 6 years before dying of old age with none of the things she eaten ever affect her more than an upset stomach (the vet checker her over and she was fine).

I'm pretty sure your dog will be fine and try (as hard as it can be) to put a bit of faith in the vet, they do it for a living and have no reason not to help your dog. ^_^ I wish the best for both of you.
 
Oh everyone's prayers and good thoughts and everything means so much to me. Thank you so much. Thank you! thank you! thank you!

@FM - so good to know your little pup was ok!

My dog is sleeping now, she normally doesn't, so that's weird. Vet said maybe will need surgery, but let's take one step at a time and just keep watching her.

I am beginning to breath in between crying. I'm not so spacey. Vet said let her sleep just watch close.

This all reminds me why I am not a parent yet....

I just need her to live. She is so young, just 2 years old. She helps me live. She deserves a good long life.
