2.5 pounds of evil vs. 110 volts

It's always scary to see your pet lying motionless and drooling on the kitchen floor, barely holding her head up and not responding to sounds, motions or paw-pinching

Glad to hear that she came through OK!

So far, okay. But for some reason I don't understand, one of the biggest dangers from electrocution is lung damage, and that can manifest several hours later. Hence the teeny, weeny oxygen tent for our inky dinky stinky slinky minky :)

OMG! I'm so glad she was okay. MSU is so wonderful. My sister brought her beagle there for chemo.

Those folks are the best! They were able to draw arterial blood and start a catheter on a 2 pound furbutt!! Their expertise is amazing.

Not that I'm knocking our furry angel's regular vet. I love our usual local vet clinic, and I trust them prolly more than my personal physician. But when you've got the veterinary equivalent of a Mayo Clinic Trauma Ward twenty minutes down the road, well, where do you expect our local vet to send electrocuted patients? :)
