To: ferrethealth@yahoogroups.com
Bringing Linus to the vet this morning. I thought he was doing a lot
better yesterday, no grumbling/gurgling. He even was eating kibble
last night, and right after that he was throwing up all night. Right
now it is 8:50 am and he has been throwing up for about 40 minutes,
just white foam and pieces of kibble. If you have any sugestions
please email me because I will be able to access my email while at the
vet's: sheryl81@aol.com. I am very afraid he will need a more
invasive procedure today.
