Penny's Peril

Yesterday in the evening Penny started showing digestive
distress.  The bloody stools and spittle scared me.  Our Vet refers patients to the Veterinary Emergency Referral Center after 8 pm, so we took her to the nearest, on Kapiolani Blvd.

There was a Vet there, with techs and a receptionist, who quickly checked her in.
Like in a human emergency room, we had to wait for what seemed like hours while they did tests and made her comfortable.

People kept bringing their pets in and we talked to a few until finally at around 11 pm the Vet explained that they had her on an IV for dehydration, but she was still drooling and showing blood.
X rays showed no foreign objects, just  pockets of inflammation in her intestines.

They wanted to do more testing so she spent the night there.
At 6 a.m. the Vet called to say everything seemed normal (no Parvo, parasites, e coli, foreign bodies),  so she could go home.

But a while later, we got another call to say she showed blood again, and she wouldn't eat so it would be better if they observed her for another day.

We wanted to take her familiar food so we went to Happy Paws, next to Aloha Dog Day Care.

The goods are mostly from Japan.  Cute doggie items and food.

Picky eater Penny seems to like this so far so we brought it to the Pet Hospital, but didn't see her.

At the Mall we shared a grilled cheese sandwich at Blue Hawaii, thinking of poor Penny in a crate and suffering from indigestion.

The center walkway of the new Ewa Wing of the Mall should be ready for Christmas.
