    She is sleeping at the moment, but usually does when it is just me and her, as she doesn't get any rest once the kids are home from school. She has coughed like she is about to vomit twice since I have been home with her, but nothing has come up. Not sure if that is something I should be concerned about or not, or if it is still "leftovers" from the injection that made her vomit yesterday.

    I have a friend coming to sit with her shortly as I have to go to a psychologist appointment. I would have cancelled if I couldn't get anyone to watch her.

    Yeah her regurgitation would be from the injection yesterday, it causes the stomach to spasm and can last on/off for a few days.

    Please don't blame yourself!! But no bones or sharp toys in the next few days okay? Let the Vit K do its thing! xoxoxo

    Having been a vet nurse for many years before having kids, I can't tell you how many times I've seen pets that have eaten ratsak, and I can assure you that not one of them ever meant to let their pet get to it. It's an accident and unfortunately they happen. You'd be amazed how determined some of them were to actually get to the ratsak!

    You've done the right thing and been to the vet asap. I've had a lot of people that didn't realise that they need to be seen asap to try to purge as much as possible from their system, and many people assume their pet is fine because they can't see any outward sign until it's sometimes too late.

    So forgive yourself for making a small mistake and take comfort in knowing that you are doing everything right by your precious pup ♥
