Things are just not going how they should with us. I am afraid that Mom will be having another surgery ASAP.

Had to take mom back to the emergency vet last night since she was lethargic and had a hard extended abdomen. My thought was internal bleeding. Turns out that her uterus is infected and swollen so automatically emergency spay. (No problem, was going to have her spayed anyway). Her stomach is swollen and full of content that cant release and now infected. (Little more serious now) and now she has serous infection called parrotnitis. (Now we say ----). Put my vet on the phone with ER vet and they discussed everything. When I got back on the phone with my vet he said we had to have the surgery ASAP and still not sure if she will survive it or afterwards. Vet said to let them give her the antibiotics and another round of packed red blood cells and get her ready for surgery. Problem is the weather now. We had a dab of snow which is no biggie but not we have sleet and below freezing temps. Vet said that depending on the weather would depend on when we could do it. NOW WE HAVE A PROBLEM. The longer we have to wait the greater chance of death we have. And in case you have not guessed right now, I REFUSE TO LOSE MOM!!!!!!!!!! So now we have some major issues. Can not afford the ER vet's fee, my vet is not charging for it but doesn't know if we can do it today. Either route that I take is not a good one. Just don't know what to do, well I know what to do just was not lucky enough to be able to make that happen. So here I sit, waiting to see what the next move is going to be in my nightmarish world.

I know I have asked so many times in this thread but please, send more prayers right now. Not for me, but for a dog that did not deserve this to happen to her. I know with enough prayer maybe her life can be spared.
