| Popi I am so sorry your baby is back in the hospital, you must be so worried about her and miss her. You have done everything in your power to try and get her some nutrition, but she would not accept food. It seems that she was so weak before surgery that now her tummy could not take food. At the hospital she will be given IV nutrition, meds, and fluids to get her on the right track. Like humans, it is hard to eat food when we have not eaten for some time. We have to slowly get enough nutrition to enable us to have an appetite. Please don't stress, she is in the right place and will be given the vet treatment she needs to get back on her little feet. In a day or so she will bounce back and you will have her home again. Tomorrow will be a better day. Get well soon little Popi, praying for you and your mom. |

| Praying...I agree, she needs more support then you are able to provide at home. Let the vet get her back on her feet...then she will be a lot stronger and able to eat and drink to not only survive but to thrive as well.

| Just received a call from the doctor... he said she threw up 2 more times.. He ran some tests and found out her blood level is low and needs a blood transfusion... Does anyone know what are the likelihood of her survival once she has to get to this stage?... Doctor has already found blood for popi but is located 30 miles out and has already sent one of his helper to retrieve the blood... Has anyone had experience with their baby on transfusion?... Has anyone experienced what I am going through with my baby?... I am worried her 3 pound fragile body just cant handle all the medications, trama, and high white blood count...

| She needs the transfusion....I had babies that all had transfusions when they came down with parvo....that blood transfusion is also used to build up their immunity...This baby is terribly ill....she went so long before she received any medical treatment, you have to do all you can now...she is such a fighter....she has struggled so hard....I do not think your vet should have ever released her post op....she needs intensive treatment....I am really praying for this baby, as we all are....please keep us posted....Yes, to answer your question....blood transfusions do work and are used for a variety of reasons. The vet needs to get started emergently on this baby, or I am afraid she is going to ru out of strength.... |

| I forgot to add.....with her blood count low, she isnt even able to oxygenate her system, her organs, enough to heal....everything is connected to everything else....it is all tied together, and when one thing get sooooooooo far out of whack, the entire system starts to fall like dominoes. The vet needs to get in there and get emergently involved to stop this cascade downward....the blood transfusion will help immensely....when did she drop so low? Did she bleed that much during surgery? Is she still oozing somewhere? Perhaps with her dehydration, she is hemoconcentrated....I think she will improve substantially with a transfusion....but that is just the beginning for this baby....dont let that vet throw her out of the hospital this time....she needs alot of professional expertise medical attention and monitoring....

| I am so sorry to hear she has gotten worse. It's good that she is with the vet, and obviously they released her too soon. Prayers are going out for little Popi that she will pull through.

| This thread is highly disturbing, sad and tragic. To anyone who reads this... please, if your pup/your child or any other member of your family is not acting like themselves and are showing signs of illness, get them to a vet or dr immediately, usually it means something is wrong. Do not wait till the morning or until Monday, go immediately, just as you would for yourself. Pups, as this owner has so tragically learned, should be treated in the same manner as any other membere of your family...prayers for OP and poor little Popi....gosh this is so sad.

| Oh no, I am so very sorry and in tears with you. Poor little baby she fought so hard and then ran out of steam. I can't believe all this happened, you must be so in shock and devastated. You did what you could, but her little body could take no more. I can understand you will not be sleeping tonight but I hope you have family to help you through this terrible time. You could have the vet keep little Popi so you or your family do not have to see her body and get more upset. Tears will flow but let them come, it helps to cry and release your pain. Rest in peace little baby, you were loved and will be so missed. With deepest sympathy. Love, prayers and warm hugs. |

| Oh no, this is my worse fear. You have my deepest condolences. When I read your first post, I sensed it was pyometra right away. My Tatiana had pyometra, too. I took her to the emergency vet the first day she showed symptoms. Tatiana had the same symptoms as Popi. She didn't eat, and laid in bed all day. Also, there was some discharge. By the evening, I took her to the emergency vet (my intuition told me to). Pyometra was diagnosed, and emergency surgery was performed. Because it was caught early, Tatiana made a full recovery. The vet remarked on how strong she was (post op). Tatiana stood up within the cage when the vet first checked on her. Honestly, if there was any delay on the surgery, I could have lost Tatiana, too. She was tiny - about 3 lbs. She would have succumbed to the infection quickly. |
