 missing organs
Has anyone ever heard of a yorkie (any animal) being born with only one ovary and only one kidney. I didn't mention this sooner because I wanted to get all the info I could before discussing it.
OK, here it goes. I paid $2,200.00 for Lexi, my intentions were to show her. My husband checked out several breeders before making a purchase, and we have Lexi's family tree. She has a champion bloodline, and is excellent quality.(I know this means nothing to most, but to show it's important) A couple months ago I decided not to show her instead I was either going to breed her once and keep all her pups, and then have her spayed, or I was going to just have her spayed, and then buy another pup. I went with spaying her and buying another pup. Yesterday she went in to be spayed and the vet called me around noon and said Lexi was doing fine, but there was something really odd. She said that she removed her left ovary and everything looked great, til she went to do the right ovary and there wasn't one. Another Dr. came in to double check and told her to check for the right kidney, that it is very rare but when one of the ovaries is missing then one of the kidney's usually are too, and sure enough she only has one kidney. I was very upset and my first thought was could this have anything to do with over breeding or being inbred. The other Dr. is a specialist(of what I have no freaking clue) and he said in 22 yrs he has seen 2 female cats like this and now Lexi. He said it was so odd to him that he did alot of research. He said it is possiable that it could happen when a female is inbred, but he doubts that is the case with Lexi. He thinks this was cause because she was a c-section preemie.(which my husband knew when he bought her) I'm still a little worried that maybe her mother was inbred. ( I never been to this breeders home my husband did all this without my knowing and he did meet her parents)
I guess I'm posting this because I would like to know if anyone else has ever heard of this.
Also I would like to say that Lexi is fine and playing almost as normal as before surgery, and I am so glad I decided to have her spayed. The Dr. did tell me that because they had to be sure her ovary was missing that they had to move a lot of organs and that he suspects she would have a little more pain that normal. She has pain pills that work great though.... |
