Kayla Back Home

Yay, poor little girl is home. Still has catheter in her leg - poor thing - the other one was shaven and bloody too. Not the most trained vet tech, she said Kayla struggled too much for her to put it in. Got another one to do it.

Vet was pretty confident she wouldn't have any real bad side effects, since she only ate a daffodil flower head, and we caught it immediately.

- They induced vomiting for an hour. Lots of foam, no flower.
- Administered activated charcoal.
- Administered IV fluids to help flush things out faster.

- 4 hrs when symptoms start to show.
- 12-24 hrs before all toxins will get out of her system.
- Watch for vomiting, drooling, lethargy. Coma and death for this kind of thing in a week.

Read online that it could take up to 3 days for symptoms, so I'll be worried sick about all of them till then.

Still kicking myself for being brain-dead.
