Sunday, after Penny had a sleepy day with me, I went to the Journey Volunteer Christmas Party. A few hours later when I returned, I came home to giant throw up mess in Penny's crate.
Lovely.
So began our night.
Penny threw up from 11:30pm-8:30am every 30 minutes or so.
Another sleepless night for all of us.
Side effects from her allergy medicine were vomiting and diarrhea, so I wouldn't have been so concerned, but there was blood in her vomit. So that was scary.
I asked to come in a little late to work on Monday and we took Penny to the vet yet again.
Our friend Shannon, who is a doctor there, was working on Monday. She said we should definitely not give her the allergy medicine anymore, because that did seem to be the cause for her sickness.
We decided to leave Penny there for a few hours so they could watch her.
Monday afternoon, Aaron got the call that he could come back and get her. She hadn't thrown up anymore, and they had given her fluids and medicine.
She was a pitiful mess Monday night.
We had to get her children's Benadryl because she was still so red and splotchy from her first incident. Plus she had two other prescriptions to take for her stomach and esophagus.
Good grief.
We finally had a good night of sleep Monday night. Penny didn't, but she didn't stop us.
Tuesday, she was finally starting to act more like her normal self.
And today she goes back to the vet today to get a final checkup.
Let's hope so, at least...
