So 14 days ago I fed my dog a corn cob at a BBQ. Not knowing it was bad for her. Come to find out she ate 2 more corn cobs that day. She had been throwing up every morning for the last week or so and I knew there was something wrong. We took her to the vet yesterday and the x rays saw a mass in her stomach. Knowing we were going out of town to get married, and knowing I messed up, and knowing the consequences we decided to get surgery to remove the mass in her belly. The mass ended up being a bunch of partial eaten cobs. Lots of them.
The x rays and work yesterday was $450 and the surgery today was $1142. It saved my dogs life. The cobs left in her stomach were at the entrance to her large intestine and more than likely would have caused a major problem.
I feel like the biggest piece of crap hurting my dog. I just did not know any better. She has a 10" incision on her belly with approx 20 staples. She is in pain but the pain killers are helping. It is tough on all of us as Steph and and I leave for Mexico to get married on Monday morning.
This is the first time in my life I have ever hurt any of my friends severely and it sucks. I love my dog and this is tough. Trying to stay positive.
