5/17/07 Update

She is now vomiting up whatever those fibers are that she pooped out yesterday. She did drink for them this morning, is acting pretty decent. Eating still doesn't interest her (day 6 without food).

They saved some of the fibers for us to see if we would recognize what it was. Our mop is still there and in tact. We have no carpet or throw rugs. We have no rope toys.

The vet is out of the office until about 1:00 today. I take my lunch at 1:00 so I'll go down there then and talk to her then. Exploratory surgery may be an option if the barium test does not conclusively show where the offending fibers are residing.

It would appear Miss Pickle may not be home again tonight.

Update. Pickle has a pretty rough blockage. She apparently has eaten an entire washcloth, maybe more than that (considering her habits). She will be going into surgery soon.
