[Dailydrool] Sirius, drool needed

[Psy1801 at aol.com]

Hi.  Well, I have to ask for some drool for Sirius.  Last night  he woke up 
at 4 am, spent the next few hours out in the yard, eating grass and  
vomiting.  During the day, he vomited once more, drank water but didn't eat  food, 
and was generally more lethargic than usual.  So we took him to the  vet 
and she is keeping him overnight to re-hydrate, then they'll try food and  see 
if he keeps it down.  X-rays if he doesn't.  
 
Any ideas what this might be? No fever, no diarrhea.  Virus? Something  he 
ate? 
 
Also, the DH wants to know...the charge for the next 24 hours is over a  
thousand dollars.  Is that anywhere near normal (we live on Long Island)?  It 
includes the CBC and general tests, but not x-rays, the IV with anti-emetic, 
 pain meds, etc.  Does that make sense or does the vet need a new wing on  
the hospital? We have VPI and hope it will cover some of it, and obviously  
there's no question of giving Sirius what he needs, but do we need a new vet 
 next time?
 
Thank you all, and drool, snooters, and love to everyone.
Bracha
