Could be true but she didn't eat any of the bone, just the marrow.  Anyhow her blood test showed 2/3's of the vial was so fatty when the twirled it around that it turned white.  No more bone marrow for that little pooch.

The IV is flushing out her system so all is well, but let me tell ya it was touch and go.

Kira, we transferred her over to our regular vet who is continuing the same IV and keeping a close eye on her.  He has a list of what she has received.  He told me if I need to give her a treat in the future, give her doggy biscuits because they are low in fat.   Same advice, no bones, or marrow.

Blue, what a scare....glad your four-legged one is on the mend.

Growing up, I think we occasionally gave our dogs fake bones, and all they ever did was bury them. They ATE flea collars and cushions and never seemed to suffer medical consequences. Some dogs are indestructible. One of our German Shepherds actually swallowed a tennis ball once and expelled it in the car on the way to the vet's.

Oh she looks so sad. My heart always goes out to any animal when they get that sad puppy dog look.

My dad's dogs wsere the same.  They ate everything in sight.  Outside dogs.  You guys should have seen me this morning.  I was climbing the stairs 3 at a time to put on a bra and shorts.  For me that's a great feat.  Ray couldn't believe his eyes.  We'll be laughing about this in a few days!

So much to catch up on - just read 4 pages of posts in this thread.

Glad to hear the tests were "boring"

Blue - sorry your pooch had to go to the vet.  Yep, a free bone cost you a ton of money.  Never knew you couldn't boil bones but then again I don't give my dogs bones because they end up fighting one another.  One will hide her bone and then try to steal the other dog's bone.

Sunflowers - I recently took up sewing and I am loving it.  I sewed one dress using cotton and then a long summer dress using a Island Batik Rayon that I just love.  I prefer to sew with Rayon or a raw type silk even though the fabrics are expensive, I like the feel of a good silky rayon and it is easy to sew as cotton.

I went to the sewing store - bought a pattern and then went to my favorite fabric store and bought material for two dresses.  $82 later I walked out of the store.

Just got back from Florida and had a wonderful time with dh's family and my two cousins that were also there.  We all spent time together on the beach, etc.  I am hoping that dh will want to retire in Florida in the Santa Rosa Beach area.

I missed the lobotomy stuff - guess I will have to search and try to figure out what happened while I was away but would love to get a PM directing me to somewhere specific!

I was on dh's laptop for a couple of minutes here and there every couple of days while in Florida - can't believe the difference in how the site looks between his laptop and my desktop.  I hate the look from my desktop!  I even downloaded google chrome as that is the browser on the laptop and that even made it worse so I don't know what the difference is between his computer and my computer but it is frustrating as heck!  I have a totally white background whereas he has the soft blues and grays.  Active topics fit the entire page on his computer whereas I only see three columns on my desktop.

Has anyone heard from Scoot?

When I was growing up, we had a dog(dauchshund/chihuahua mix) that ate EVERYTHING. Plastic butter tubs, crayons, entire bones, you name it. If it wasn't up high, he found it and ate it. Nothing ever bothered him(though he had some interesting poops) until the thing that killed him at 14-he got into the garbage and ate the rind from an acorn squash. 

Blue-I'm so sorry your baby is sick.

Jancie - I'm lurking! Finally got our horses out here from OK and my daughter's from PA so things have been a tad busy. The trip out from OK was a hoot - passed through a town called Toad Suck, Arkansas. I am not making that up.

OK was miserably hot and dry, so dry. I hope they don't have a repeat of last year's drought conditions.

Blue - so sorry about your little baby! Was the bone supposed to be a folk or natural remedy for something?

Blue, I heard you were in tune with most people and other living things via your AFDB. No?

So was the bone supposed to cure something? I am puzzled about that.

Wait...I thought enemas were the cure-all? Now we have bones?

I think the kitchen junk drawer will now be my medicine cabinet. I have bones and enemas in there (closer to the coffee y'know) as well as rubber bands, old packets of soy sauce and half -burnt birthday candles. There's got to be a cure there somewhere!

Ya never know scoot!  I'm gonna go look in my jumk drawer too.  I know I have some deer antlers in there.  Gonna grind them up and make some tea!

What a hoot you all are!

On another note the local walmart about a mile away has lost part of it's roofing. Haven't heard if it's wind or something else from this dang storm in the gulf!

No one hurt, but it has been good for DH business. Lots of calls to start generators that aren't working with electric not working in the area. No one wants to lose foods in the frig.
