First I am really glad hes ok. Sounds like it was kind of scary. Second... what is e-vet?

E-vet is an emergency vet clinic, notoriously high priced but available 24 hrs.

Wow, glad everything is okay. We had to go the e-vet last night too. I got home to a pup that could barely walk and was throwing up. After about 4 hours of waiting (it was kinda busy there), it turned out that she was probably bitten by something and was have an anaphylaxis reaction (I really liked them, they ran her blood work twice to make sure, without charging me extra, and they were patient with her (didn't rush in, let her feel comfortable before messing around with her)). Got a pepcid shot as well, to settle her stomach, and some benadryl they said we can give at home since it was cheaper than buying a liquid from them and waiting to hear from the normal vet today. I am so happy that it was not bloat for y'all!

LMAO! I'm glad he's okay but I totally feel your pain. My dog went outside to go potty. He became agitated and acted like his butt was on fire. Hopping around, couldn't sit down when he came back in. I took him to the vet thinking it was a bee sting or some sort of reaction to it. The vet was an hour away.

Yeah, he was constipated and his poop hurt...$400.00 dollars later. Heh. I can laugh about it now...sort of.
