My heart is breaking for her. She is VERY high right now, she can hardly hold her eyes open. That is the ace promazine, but at least she seems comfortable now, she has stopped crying, she was crying so hard this morning and while we were at the vet. Mind you I was crying myself, the vet had said at first they may have to open her up again so he wanted to check for blood in her belly because of the amount of swelling she has. I just breathed a big sigh of relief when her belly was clear. Shaune is beside himself, he wants to go see the vet that did this and I told him no because I could not leave Nya alone to come bail him out of jail. I have NEVER seen a dog bruise and swell this bad from a freaking spay. And I still do not understand why they did not abort the procedure until we could find a way to do it without her feeling it. She did take a treat just now, so she is interested in eating, daddy said she gets chicken nuggets tonight (they are her favorite) and while not the healthiest thing she can have, at least she will have something in her belly and maybe just entice her to realize"hey I like food" normally she is a good eater.

I am just sick over all of this, so is Shaune (he is pretty attached to this baby girl) in the 6 years we have been married the only times I have seen him even close to this upset about the dogs is when we lost Romeo and Theo.

I was told I should write a review of this vet on Angies list....I think I just might, plus anywhere else that one can post reviews on vets, i sure do not want another baby to go thru this. This weekend has been a weekend from H*ll. I just hope we can keep her comfortable now, between the metacam and the torbutrol maybe we can keep a handle on it. Plus I do have extra ace promazine if absolutely needed.

Now i do not mind paying vet bills, however since Friday we have put out: 400.00 for surgery
195.00 for ER visit and treatment yesterday
250.00 for Er visit and xrays and treatment today
and the last 450.00 should NOT have been neccesary IMO. Hopefully she does not need to go back in now except for her 2 week check up.
