Madison had a rough week last week. She had her teeth cleaned on Thursday for her very first time - apparently seven years was WAY too long to wait. Poor lil thing had to have six teeth pulled! She is on antibiotics to kill any infection left from the dead teeth that were pulled. We felt horrible!
Like I said before, we had a family Christmas celebration on Saturday and sometime during the early evening, Madison must have eaten something. She was drinking lots of water and around 10pm I noticed that her belly was HUGE and swollen. I googled it a bit and found some terrifying results of something call Bloat. Appparently the dog's stomach gets bloated, then it flips over and it's usually fatal unless it's treated immediately.
So, around 11pm off we went to Veterinary Specialty and Emergency Clinic. Although it wasn't busy when we called about Madison, there were at least six other couples waiting when we got there. Luckily they took her back right away and decided they needed an xray of her tummy to determine if she had Bloat. The xray looked good and they determined she had food bloat (too much food apparently) so we were able to go home around 12:30am. She couldn't eat anything or drink much on Sunday until she digested everything in her tummy. By Sunday evening she looked good and was able to eat again.
We hope she gets all of this out of her system before the baby comes!
