To Pancreatitis and Back

We thought the turkey adventure was over, but on Sunday night Nestle began to show signs that she was not herself (that means that she was quiet). On Monday morning, after throwing up all night, she managed to toss up a corn cob. We're a little baffled as we hadn't had corn since the previous Monday. We took her to the vet where she was diagnosed with pancreatitis. She came home yesterday afternoon, Dr. Salas saying, "keep her away from stray turkeys." She's slowly recovering (as are we from the bill) and glad to be home, especially because today is her birthday. She has been with us five years today although I think she is about 5 1/2 years old (the shelter where she came from said she would be 6 today).
