We slept through the night. With me facing Molly's bed the entire night, although I'm sure that would wake up if she stated to cough during the night. She didn't. In fact, when I woke up she was laying upside down on her bed, in the sun, with her head hanging off the end. Eyes half closed when I went over and was gently giving her belly rubs. (she is soooo adorable in the mornings, especially) Still the real test would be when she ate her breakfast and I'm happy to say, she went outside, did her business, came in and ate just over half of her breakfast (that's normal for her), with hubs and I watching her every bite and nothing. Not a cough, not a whimper, just a lip licking good experience from what I can tell. Had some water to wash it all down and that was that. Molly is obviously fine.

Last night, when she got the piece caught, she sat right next to me, while I rubbed her back a bit, but was still distressed, so I woke hubs from his nap and said look up doggie chocking, see the procedure for dislodging it we can do, but it looks a bit tricky, with possibility of her sternum being damaged doing the heimlech maneuver, so we decided to take her, plus every few minutes she was still trying to cough it back up (reverse sneezing). She continued to do this all the way there and would hang her head down, so I knew it was causing pressure to have her head up at the time. Not a normal thing for molly to hang her head for any reason, she is always curious about whats going on where. I figure better safe than sorry, and there is a chance that something stuck in the esphogus can make a tear and require surgery, or that it won't move on it's own and would have to be manipulated using the scope. The doctor said if she threw up after her breakfast to come back in and they would go straight to scoping her or if during the night she tried to drink and threw up, same thing, come back and they'd scope. She said she'd be there all night if we needed her, we could also call if we had any questions or worrying signs. So that was very nice and caring of her.

I'll be going to see if I can find smaller glucosomine treat for her today.

Anyway, just wanted to update everyone that she is okay.

hugs all,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin
