From what Beth told me, when the vet did a rectal exam, she could not reach in as far as normal.
I’ve always been under the impression that a vet can tell a twisted gut from listening to the gut. In fact I was with a friend at the time a vet examined her horse and diagnosed a twisted gut. She had the horse put down.
I have to admit, this whole thing makes me tiny skeptical of the diagnoses. Personally, I’m surprised that the vets gave them the option of coming home at all, even with meds. I mean, I know a vet couldn’t stop them if they did it on their own, but that was an option the vet gave.

That’s what I would be curious about, what they see or hear that tells them. We see a diagnosis all the time of twisted gut, especially on fatal cases, but there’s not always a necropsy, so I wonder how they really know? I don’t think I’ve ever asked.
I’m surprised too, that coming home was an option.
Hey that’s great about the flower shop moving into your building. They should be a nice quiet tennant that shouldn’t give you any trouble. I’m sure the added income will be a big help and give you a little more peace of mind too.
