Dr. Hanson turned the x-ray towards Cassandra, showing small, round objects inside Cammie’s stomach. Cassandra’s mind raced as she tried to understand what she was seeing. Dr. Hanson explained that Cammie had swallowed things she shouldn’t have, possibly small decorative items from her terrarium.
Cassandra felt overwhelmed with guilt and worry. How could she have overlooked something so important? She had been so focused on the joy of having a new companion that she hadn’t considered the potential dangers of the shiny objects in Cammie’s enclosure.
Dr. Hanson assured her that they could perform a procedure to remove the foreign objects, but it carried some risks. Cassandra faced yet another heart-wrenching decision. Memories of Reggie and their shared moments flooded her mind. The thought of losing another beloved pet was too much to bear.
