Dingding is doing much better!

My gorgeous wittle girl is doing much better! And as we suspected there was some trouble with her stomach. I took her to the vet down the street; he examined her and noticed that she was in pain when he touched her stomach area. The Vet took an x ray (and one for us to keep) and basically got it confirmed. She’s constipated, she cannot poop. This probably caused her to have ache and the reason why she would not eat nor drink.

The Doc wanted her to stay overnight to be monitored, but dingding started eating some lettuce already at the Vet office so I figured I can bring her home. Since I am not working I may as well be the one monitoring her, (and I was afraid of the cost for the overnight stay). They thought it will be fine and that I will call them to tell them how she is doing. She was doing better right away when we came home. She started eating some and was running around. She is still not quite herself, but she has been eating, drinking, pooping and peeing. She will be fine, because there is no other option.

Anyway, see all the medicine that she got prescribed! Four different kinds of medicines, for constipation! That is just sad. I give it to her twice a day, and I also feed her “critical care food” a few times a day, just to make sure she gets all the nutrition she needs.

And you know what? All this cost only 1300 HKD (about 1170 SEK or 170 USD); including the checkup, x rays, food and medicine. I was expecting to pay much more, especially since it was an emergency appointment. But I am not complaining.

Now let’s keep those happy thoughts coming Dingding’s way!
