Saturday morning - she woke up a BIG mess, her discharge had increased terribly overnight and turned yellow/greenish in color, tummy was bloated and she had no energy - so we took her back to the emergency vet (Friday night and Saturday morning were both spent researching pyometra, so we were better informed as we had not heard of it before)........the vet discussed options with us but felt without a doubt it was pyometra.....after much discussion with our co-owner and him with his vet, we agreed to the emergency spay - only if they agreed to check her carefully once they had her in surgery to verfify - and they did use a needle to pull some of the fluid from her uterus before proceeding - and found her uterus was 4 times normal size.)
I hope and pray this is NOT what is going on with your son's beagle.....and the vets can find the real problem soon! |
I just wanted to say how sorry I am for your experience with your little one & I hope she is all better now!
The Vet was going to do an Xray or Ultrasound to double check for the Pyometra even tho' her vaginal discharge was clear earlier today. He had done a swab of her discharge and it did not show signs of infection (pus) so, that was one reason he was veering away from Pyometra.
At this point, I kind of wish that is what we were looking for...seems the prognosis would be a better one.
