Jas called me at work just before 6pm in tears, telling me he was taking Herc to the Animal Emergency Room. I didn't even know we had an Animal ER. I am incredibly grateful that we have an Animal ER and for the kind staff there and ultra competent vet, Dr. Wells. Based on what Jas saw from Herc he was convinced Herc was a goner. Based on Jason's voice on the phone I started thinking along those lines too. I had to keep taking deep breaths and telling myself that "Everything will be OK, they will have a great vet who will find the problem quickly and fix it." I repeated thoughts like that the whole drive over, trying to avoid panic and find the next best feeling emotion. We were so worried. Turns out Herc has stress related colitis. It is easily fixed with antibiotics and pumpkin (for the fiber). Thank goodness all is well. I so love my Herc-o-boy, and I am ever so relieved and infinitely grateful that he is OK. He is such a wonderful blessing in our lives. A kiss from Herc can fix any pain or fear. His kisses at the ER calmed me down, even though he was crying and scared, he still kissed the vet, me and Jas and seemed to want to make Jas and I feel better and relieve our anxiety, in spite of his stress.
Infinite Love and Gratitude to all of the wonderful veternarians and staff who love Herc and take good care of him!
Though we will miss out on the trip to Lake Powell we were supposed to go on tomorrow, we will not be missing our sweet 11 year old baby!
