The possibility of life without my service dog scares me

How are you two doing now? I've been out of touch due to work, but still praying.

Thank you for the prayers so much!!! I'm a little less of a nervous wreck. She pooped out one of the bone shards, the smaller one. Not yet the larger one. :( She is perky though and totally acting normal and happy today. Vet said to just keep an eye on her. Sigh.

I guess it is possible she already pooped it out and despite all my um, disgusting poop inspection efforts (I always know when she poops). Maybe I have just somehow missed it. I think it's more likely it's still in her, but she is as happy as can be so I'm trying to not worry or fret so much. Tomorrow morning I'm taking her swimming. Vet said it was a good idea. She loves the water. :)

Sounds like a good idea. I really, really hope and pray it comes out okay. (((JMH and her sweet doggie)))

@Justmehere , I am just reading all of this now. I hope everything continues to go well.

I am late to this thread and am so sorry for what you've been through. I've spent so many alone and terror-ridden moments at the vet and wish I had been able to lend support. I hope your pupper continues continues to be on the mend.

An aside: I do volunteer work with marine mammals. Sea lions have a "sea dog" nickname. I refer to my dog as my "land seal" and often get what I call The Look (as in, okay crazy lady)

I am happy for the both of you that this story has a happy ending and that your worst fears did not come to pass. :hug::hug:
