Update

WoW. Bootsie wanted to go out and try to potty every 15 minutes last night. The things we do for the dogs we love, lol. You should've seen me out there, trailing behind her in the dark with a little penlight in hand so I could inspect what was exiting her backdoor. I'm sure we made for quite a sight! Finally, around 1:30 or 2 am, Bootsie let me fall asleep, and she slept, too, sharing my pillow the entire night.

Bootsie had her breakfast this morning, with the 3cc's of Amforal mixed into it. She gobbled it down, had some water, and then it was potty time. I'm not even going to go into describing what her "potty" is consisting of these last 2 days. Makes me a bit queasy just to think about it, lol! I will simply say that things should return to normal by tomorrow or the next day at the latest.

I phoned the vet tech at the clinic to give them an update about 10 minutes ago. After hearing my report, she said that the things that I was concerned about are common after administering an enema, and that from what I'd said, everything appeared to be going according to plan and she should be feeling much better by tomorrow.

I hope so. I HATE seeing her feel badly. I'd so much rather it were me than her.

I've declared this house a Q-Tip free zone. No Q-Tips shall ever pass through these halls again, lol. (Do you think I;m kidding? I'm not, lol)!
