Lucy Goosey you stressed me out!!

Yesterday, our new puppy Lucy decided to eat something that just didn't agree with her.....

All of a sudden I noticed her falling over randomly. And when she tried to lay down she would twitch. She started getting worse so, I called the vet and they said to bring her in right away. By the time I got her to the vet she was starting to have seizures and her kidneys were starting to fail.They got IV fluids in her right away and started pumping her with medicine. Of course, me and my pregnant self starts getting emotional as they are explaining what is happening and what they need to do. I even had the Vet Tech tearing up!

At around 5 when our vets office closes they said she was nowhere near ready to go home so we had to take her into the emergency vet clinic in Tacoma to be be monitored there - not good on the pocket book, although it could have been worse! They pumped her with more fluids & medicine. And by this morning we were able to go pick her up. When I got there it was such a relief to see her back to her normal loving, bouncy self!

They said that she most likely ingested some sort of slug bait or mulch grass clippings. That crazy, curious puppy!!!
We have only had her for a few months but, she is already apart of our family and I know Ellee will love growing up with her! I would have been heartbroken if we had lost her! I'm just glad that she is okay!
