| Emergency spay for Princess!! Princess is gonna be a mommie!! Or so we thought. It has been 41 days since her tie and we really thought puppies. Teets swollen, throwing up 2 weeks after tie, loss of appetite the following week. Her belly started to get rounder about a week ago and she seemed so tired. Like a pregnant mommy. So excited!! But everything changed on Saturday when she started acting bizarre, making wierd hacking noises, abdomen bloating and getting really hard, hacking up hairballs. Then she had gas for about an hour and everything seemed to go back to normal. This happened again sunday, and so, just to be safe (cause I am a worrier) we took her to the vet this morning and they did bloodwork. Now I am having to get her spayed, instead of having puppies, because he doesnt see them on xray, but white blood cell count is up. She really has all signs of pyometra, except fever. I wish we would have seen this coming. I am devastated. I just want my girl to be ok now.

| Oh wow!! I just got back from vets office (we were gonna discuss his findings and schedule spay for tomorrow) and I was just so unsure about it he offered to do an ultrasound for free just to ease my mind and show that there werent any puppies. Guess what? There are puppies!!!! And we saw at least one heart beating really strong!! I dont know how many cuz she kept squirming, but there is no way I am allowing her to be spayed now! He did give her an antibiotic for the vaginal discharge, and he wants to see her again next week, but wow, I am gonna be a gramma! I am so happy my heart is jumpin...what a roller coaster of a day! Thanks for all the well wishes, I really appreciate them. BTW, as soon as pups are weaned, she is getting spayed. This is too nerve wracking

| So does this mean she doesn't have pyometra? Why are her white blood cells up? Is that common during pregnancy? If not are the puppies in any danger? I know I know more to worry about. |

| not really sure about the pyometra...doc not happy about white blood count being up, although it isnt off the charts it is elevated more than he said he would like. But she also has a real dry nose (nose is always dry tho) with crusty boogers (ewww) and vaginal disharge so maybe that is why. He took her off the amoxicillon from last wk and put her on clavimox which is like augmentin i guess and wants to see her back monday (gulp.<pulling out empty pockets>) I will know more then, but for now I am just treating her like a pregnant mommie and making sure she eats and gets some exercise. I will let God take care of the rest.
