saga: concluding?

[Apparently I left this in my draft folder, it should be dated 11/12/2006]

The drama appears to be settling down. For a few days anyway.

I took Gus to the vet on Friday morning and there was not a conclusive diagnosis, just that he had ingested something toxic and had severe reactions to it. Nothing showed in the blood panel, urinalysis, or stool sample. The vet said that if he had ingested a very small amount of mushroom (most types are all toxic for dogs) that it would be plenty to make him very sick, but still not show up. He's now on some good meds and is receiving special moist food for a week to get his digestive system back on track.

What was this worth? $167.50 to the vet clinic. Gus, you're glad I like you.
