Everything is growing like crazy here .I know some people frown about using miracle Gro but that’s what I have . The soil I used last year too . Miracle grow potting soil, Pete moss, and top topsoil. When I transplanted them I fed them 6 gallons with miracle Gro for the high nitrogen content. Had plenty of rain since. Last feeding was with miracle grow rose bloom and again had lots of rain. Maybe one more feeding then I’ll let them flush out . This year I bought a peet moss pod seed starter kit and had a 100% germination rate . Just had them in front of the window with just a single led lightbulb hanging above the mini green house . Lost my whole first batch to the dogs and cats .
If it works for you, then no trouble at all. Animals love to upturn small containers. Doesn't seem to matter what's in them, huh?

That's the way it ALWAYS goes....They never get sick during business hours!! And yeah the emergency vets usually suck!! And over charge !
It's why even if I get him retested for the genetic disease, I would never do it through them. I was baffled when they went over my head and ordered it, since the treatment for his condition would not have changed with a positive result. They treat for anemia and the surrounding issues regardless. They want the money!

One would hope they considered a physical wound; ingested bone shards or wood splinters, etc. Maybe check around the house for evidence?

I did check around the house. Multiple times. Over and over. Of course that was the first thing I did... I have another dog in the house. And the little dog has not put her nose anywhere suspicious since then either. I did want them to call about the ultrasound. They get raw bones, and while I did not see any shards get eaten, or find any broken pieces, the ultrasound would have been nice.

He is moving his wastes according to the last call, but it's all tarry still.

Do you have any recent poop you can unpleasantly go through and examine?

I did go through his poops as soon as he started the issue, til I lost custody of him. He wasn't even at the tarry stage for me. I am a dog mom, no shame, haha. They won't won't admit to eating something stupid, so...

I am just so happy I get to see him again, I was so scared they were gonna call in the middle of the night and say he bled out alone in a kennel crate

Do you give rawhide or rawhide containing treats? Sounds too familiar. Never rawhide, chicken or pork bones for dogs.

Passing stool is promising. Be a few before healed. Anti biotics and water. Vet will inform you. Sending healing thoughts.

Poison?!! Check your house and roommate's room
I meant that rawhide is poison. It bloats then up, clogs the intestines, kills a lot of dogs. I use electric trap when there is a rodent issue. Right now there is not, so even those are away.
Didn't even think of the roommate.
She is stupid, but the only dangerous thing she might introduce would have been mentioned. She would tell me if she like dropped a plate and saw the dog eat glass. She is dumb not malicious.

Wasn't sure if you were still feuding over making noise while she's sleeping.

Ironically today is international Dog day.
