Jessi got into the garbage and ate..FINAL UPDATE in first post

the bones of a WHOLE chicken roaster

She has NEVER done this before, so when I came home from work to find my kitchen full of garbage you can say I was so upset and worried about her.

I called the Vet and she told me that if anything was going to happen that it would in the next two days. Only give her dry food and some bread (for fiber) to help "move things along."
She said that if I notice her not wanting to eat, or start vomiting to bring her to the vet immediately.
I'm trying not to be worried, b/c she is a big dog and has eaten worse....I'm still in shock that she did this...and I'm more upset and myself and DH for not throwing the bones in the outside garbage.

I just that she does not get sick....
So lesson learned...even though your dog has never done something in the past, doesn't mean they won't. Play it safe and always throw your bones away in a garbage your pets can't get to.

Thanks for listening...I'm a worried dog mama tonight


********UPDATE*****************


So at 3AM this morning, Jessi woke up crying and wanting to go out, this continued until about 4AM when she went under our bed and vomitted. I knew this was not good, so I called the EVet and they said to bring her in Immediately.
We get there at 4:30AM and they sedate her to take x-rays of her abdomen. While they did that they came out and told us that Jessi had a fever of 104.5 ...I was very worried and upset. They started her on IV fluids and antibiotics right away. The X-rays came back showing that she has some chicken bones in the bottom of her stomach and a TON of gas through her intestines, which was causing her a lot of pain....So they went ahead and gave her something for the pain as well.
Fast foward to 8:AM when the EVet closes...they let us take the rest of her fluids back with us b/c they want her to go to our regular vet to finish them and be observed.
We just dropped her off and they took her temp again and its down to 101.3...so the vet said hopefully by noon she can come home

UPDATE #2*********

we picked up Jessi from the vet at noon...her fever is gone, however the Vet said that she has some bloody diarrhea...which they expect to continue, therefore we can not feed her at all today.
She came home and immediately went to the water dish and drank...she stayed there for 20 minutes, definately not acting like herself. We let her out and she had more diarrhea...then she went upstairs and is sleeping now.
The vet gave us some medicine to give her, hopefully she will be ok...they said if she vomits again or seems like she is in pain to bring her back to the EVet.
My poor baby...I this is the last of everything....

Thank you everyone for your well wishes and prayers for my Jessi I just want her to get well.


UPDATE 3*****

I'm happy to say that Jessi is finally acting like herself! she was alittle off this morning, but by this afternoon she was playing with the other dogs and looking to eat.
Thank you EVERYONE for your prayers and kind words...It really helped, especially when I was so stressed out yesterday!
