Dakota Needs Prayers

by Shannon Steffen on March 21, 2009


Oh my poor puppy! Dakota has been throwing up once a night for the last week – until this morning. Upon cleaning up last night’s mess, she began throwing up and wouldn’t stop. An emergency run to our vet confirmed that Dakota was extremely sick and needed help immediately!

An x-ray showed something “U” shaped in her stomach. She is now dehydrated and still cannot stop throwing up. We had no option but to agree with the vet that she needed immediate surgery to get that thing out of her.

So, our sweet Dakota will have surgery in the next couple of hours to remove whatever it is. My heart is aching because our 4-year old Lab never eats anything without permission… how in the world did this happen? *sigh*

Please keep her in your prayers… the vet will call this afternoon with an update.
