Our Bailey girl!

Everyone knows of our Bailey, the beagle, and how she makes us laugh and how she is always finding things to chew and eat. Well, she went a little bit too far this time.

Just before I took her to the Kennels last week (still in FL by the way - only 65 degrees outside sorry about that our northern friends), she threw up. Nothing gross, just choked a little bit. Late that night, the kennels called us and said she threw up again and this time there was blood in her stool, so they were going to take her to the vet the next day if it happened again.

Long and behold, 10 minutes before our plane was leaving, they called us and said it was really bad that they were taking her to the vet. Do we not get on the plane or do we when your dog is really sick. However, they said it was up to us but they wanted to make sure she was ok. So, we left and I called the kennels when we landed and as it turned out she had all kinds of tests, exrays, blood work done and she ate something she wasn't supposed to but we don't know what that was. She had pancreaitis (sp?) which can be fatal if not diagnosed soon. She ended up staying two nights at the vet, antibiotics, etc. They were going to pick her up the second day but bad weather set in so she stayed that second night. Oh my, poor poor Bailey.

We almost lost her but she is happy as a clam now which we're glad. Now, we just have to figure out what she ate!
