Hi everyone,
I just needed to get this out.
My dog ate a treat that I let him have yesterday that was way too rich for him (I should have thought about it better, but hindsight is 20/20).
Within an hour he was vomiting and having diarrhea. We took him to the emergency vet at 8PM and didn't get out of there until 12AM. My husband and I slept in shifts because they told us taking him home would allow him to get more rest, but if we couldn't commit to having at least one person awake to watch him at all times, they would recommend hospitalizing him because of how he was acting while in the vet's office.
The emergency vet said it's likely pancreatitis, but she wasn't getting clear results so she told us not to feed him until he sees my regular vet. My regular vet just called me and said their only opening is at 4 PM this afternoon, and it is still early morning here.
My husband just went to bed an hour ago after letting me sleep a little longer than agreed because he said I looked exhausted, so I don't want to wake him because he's the one that drives us. I am just beside myself. I've literally worried myself sick over this because it was my decision to let him have half that treat (nausea, vomiting, etc). I'm just wracked with guilt.
The emergency vet said I shouldn't feel guilty and that she's confident he'll pull through. He had diarrhea again this morning, and he's sleeping on a towel on the bed with my husband now because I spoil him because he's my baby.
I'm just not handling it well and the physical symptoms I'm getting from the anxiety and waves of panic are making it worse.
