Got 2nd opinion today, way cheaper for everything they are abt to do. Pretty much 50% the cost compared to the 1st hospital. Left her there for anesthesia for esophagostomy, inhouse labs, tube feeding, & abx injection, and fluids. There's 50/50 chance that she might not need surgery. I remember...
So she's been refusing to eat for the entire 2 weeks regardless of what I fed her i.e. lettuce, cumcumber, tomatoes, etc. Can I just add mineral oil to her warm soak bath? From your experience, sth this big is able to pass? She's 3 years old but only wts 1.3kg. Anyhow, will get to the mineral...
With all due respect, I'm a healthcare provider myself for 13 years now. I was afraid of all the air and stones would make her uncomfortable. She hasn't defecated for 18 days now, I'm so afraid of perforation. If you don't mind, can you please share some of the post op care tips & recovery time...

Oh no wonder. I tried to feed her cucumbers, carrot slices, bananas, strawberries in the past week but she wouldn't even open her mouth. I got very little banana onto her mouth and she wouldn't lick it even. I read that banana could rot their mouths so I wiped it clean afterwards. I will try...
Thanks for the recommendation. Romaine lettuce has been 90% of her diet since I got her when she was 2 weeks old. I have to confess that my mom's been the primary care taker for her, and I didn't do much research abt avoiding small rocks or small anything within her reach. I found out she's been...
Poor 3 & 1/2 year old baby girl began not eating nor pooping 2 weeks ago. Barium xray showed numerous rocks impaction as shown below. Vet suggested hospitalization for 3 days for $1240 or $2450 for 5 days. Prior to this recommendation, I spent $280 on initial consultation + vitaminA & D...
