Poppy update

Thanks to everyone who commented yesterday. If Poppy could read my emails she'd be grateful for all the good wishes :)

Sis finally updated me and Poppy is fine today after our snake-bite scare yesterday. No more swelling around the bite, and no signs of trouble. Although the vet said 24 hours, I think it would be obvious by now if she'd gotten a poisoned bite, so I'm much happier. Of course there's still a risk of infection but she seems to be out of danger.

I've got to give props to the vet: yesterday when we found the bite on her belly Sis called them right away and they said to bring her in asap. In the time it took Sis to drive there they'd called some kind of expert to confirm the correct protocol to follow, and they treated Poppy right away.

Poppy wasn't too thrilled at being rushed to the vet - after all the trouble with her leg she's started to associate the vet with pain - but she was watched pretty closely by all of us yesterday. This morning the injury looks healed and she seems back to normal.

So much relief all around. I don't think any of us could have dealt with losing Poppy so soon after we had to put Rocky to sleep.

Thanks again :) *hugs you all*
