Re: Not good So pleased the op went well; I expect she will be feeling very sorry for herself when you collect her but by tomorrow she should be feeling so much better. Thank goodness you have good work colleagues it makes such a difference. Alice
Re: Not good By my watch you should have Harley home with you now. What an awful day for you all. Bless that little spot that took you to the Vet's in the first place. Tina
Re: Not good Hope Harley's doing ok back at home now! Nice peaceful evening for you now as she will no doubt want to sleep it off!
Re: Not good Gosh, just got in and seen this whole thread! Lots of love to you and Harley - wonderful news that you caught it early (someone is looking out for that pretty girl!). Pongo has gone pale with worry and says he promises to be Very Very Gentle when he sees her next. He has been practicing his swimming so next time he won't half-drown her when he says hello.
Re: Not good Thank you all for all your support today. It has been very emotional ;( Yes, I am lucky to have good friends and colleagues who will cover me at work We are home now When she came out of the vets she was very wobbly on her legs, but we made it the 50 yards to the car. Whilst in surgery they also found she had a hernia so have repaired that at the same time! This has meant that her scar is longer than normal. They done a complete 'hysterectomy' and found a few 'pus' pockets. So, all done, I am glad that I took her in this morning, even if it was for a lump on her head!! Harley is currently asleep on her bed she is looking very sorry for herself I'm sleeping downstairs with her for the next few days Harley looks forward to swimming with Pongo and a benson and chasing balls with Holly very soon x
Re: Not good Bless her! I'm sure she'll feel so much better very soon with all that sorted out! Hope you all sleep well tonight
Re: Not good My goodness, this is one that I am glad to be able to read through from start to finish! So glad she is doing well, what an awful scare! Thank goodness you mentioned the discharge to the vet.... Hugs from here, hope you all sleep well!
Re: Not good [quote author=editor link=topic=7291.msg100983#msg100983 date=1407772671] Just to add, for all owners of an entire bitch, it is important to check out any vaginal discharge that occurs outside of a normal season. And especially in the few weeks after a season has finished. This kind of discharge is not normal in dogs. Around a quarter of unspayed bitches will get pyometra in their lifetime and the risk increases with every passing season. Many if not most bitch owners are not aware of this. I think I'll put a sticky up about this one. It is quite a scary and common illness. [/quote] Good idea Pippa, I was going to suggest that.
Re: Not good What a terrible day you have all had . So very pleased to hear all went well with Harley's operation and that she is safely home. I hope you have a good night, sleep well. Very best wishes and big hugs from all of us xxx
Re: Not good Glad she's home safely. Very unfortunate to have this experience in such a young bitch, it's normally a more mature bitch illness. Averting the risk of pyometra is such a good reason to spay.
Re: Not good Just read this thread, what a horrible thing to have happened and Im so glad all is well. hope you are relaxing with her tonight. Licks to Harley and you from Cuillin and Brodick x
Re: Not good So sorry to read about poor Harley, Naya, but so glad that everything has worked out well. Huge sigh of relief, I'll bet.
Re: Not good What a stressful day! So glad she's come through the op successfully- you must be so relieved to have her home. Hope you have a good night.
Re: Not good What a rollercoaster of a day.... So glad it all went well in the end and she's getting TLC at home. I'm sure she will be back to normal quite soon
Re: Not good Good morning Ternays...I'm away from the Forum until this afternoon but just wanted to check in and say I hope you had a comfortable ,quiet night and how is she today? X
