update:

Christaligia is doing ok. I spoke to her Dr. at around 5 pm this evening and she was pretty drugged up. She's on an i.v. pump and narcotics for the pain. As well as an antacid to protect her little tummy. When Dr. Elizabeth opened her up she found a very large bone. Like a beef bone!!! What's more, it was literally stuck to the inside of her tummy. It may have been her saving grace that it was stuck to her tummy and not moving because the Dr. said she would never have been able to pass such a large thing. I asked how on earth she could have ever eaten such a large thing and was told small dogs can swallow large items, it's just when they're inside they can do considerable damage and even kill a dog when and if it tries to pass it. So..... we're hoping that she doesn't wake up this evening and not find herself in her nanna's bed with nanna and be really upset. I think she'll be on enough drugs to sleep the night through. The Dr. will try to give her a bit of water tomorrow and if she takes that, later in the day she'll give her a wee bit of a gruel type food and see if she can take that. We plan on going to see her tomorrow but to protect her, we'll give someone on staff my digital camera probably and have them take some pics for us. If we go in and she's awake, she may be very upset if we don't take her home and that's not good for her. If all goes as planned, we will bring her home sometime Saturday. Thank goodness she's ok and thank goodness for pet insurance! This was a whopper of a bill although I'm more than willing to pay anything to help our little girl.
