I picked up Holly this morning. She had emergency surgery late yesterday afternoon. She had pyometra. That is an infected uterus. It is often fatal so I was quite lucky that I had taken her into the vet for an unrelated problem.
The vet did some blood work for an uncoming surgery (to remove a turmor) and discovered a problem, The x ray showed the problem with the uterus. The vet reccommended immediate surgery and when they touched the uterus, it exploded. She probably would not have lived much longer than a day or two.
This was a new vet that I tried and she will certainly become my all time vet.
I do reccomend when you get a new puppy, get her spayed to prevent this problem. Holly was so little, I was afraid to have it done. I do regret that.
So, it was a very expensive day for me, but so worth it. Holly is worth a million dollars to us.
She is home now, resting and so far, so good!
I did come in under budget on my electric bill, so I have $40 to add to the challenge.
Prev. total $14,593.00
today 40.00
new total $14,633.00
Holly is home!
