Infection after spaying I bought my first dog in April....a yorkie we named Pebbles. She is 7 mos old and got spayed on Oct. 1st. She developed an abscess, supposedly from internal sutures and had to have one of her kidneys removed. They tell me she can live normally with one kidney. Our hearts break for her, because she is going through all of this. Does anyone have a similar experience or a yorkie with one kidney? |
We had Addison spayed in June this year by a friends vet, as we were unable to get her an appointment with her own before her first heat. Addy is my first yorkie as an adult and my friend has three so I listened to her when she suggested her vet. Addy had her surgery and when I picked her up she was a mess! She was so frail and weak for the first two days then, she started vomitting up bile and foam. I took her back to the other vet and they gave me more medicine for her (a steroid) and a bag of fluid IM. She threw up the whole way home, I was freaking out so we went to our own wonderful vet and after a quick exam he found that she had a nodule on her incision site, thought to be a hernia. He called the vet and they asked me to bring her back there and they would do the corrective surgery for free. I had already promised her that she would never have to go back there again so, we opted to have our vet do the procedure, he had a different kind of medicine that they administered while she was under and when she woke up you couldn't tell that she had even had surgery. When I went to pick her up our vet told us that she had a reaction to her internal sutures and that we were lucky to discover it so quickly. After all is said and done I am thankful for our world class vet and his wonderful staff, but most of all thankful for the health of my baby. I hope you can find some comfort, and know that you are not alone and there is nothing that you personaly could have done to prevent this from happening. I know the helpless feeling that you are going throught right now, time heals all wounds. Our prayers will be with you and your baby. |
Thanks for your comforting words. Pebbles is doing much bettter today and could be back home with us tomorrow. |
Praying she's back with you as soon as possible, and on her way to recovery. |
sending my prayers your way |
problems after surgeries I have two male yorkies and several girls, same family. I decided to have my boys neutered at 7 years old. One of them had to go back to the vet twice because the little balls seemed to be there after a week of surgery. The vet said he would do it again, less anesthesia and that it was a small "cyst". I don't know, if he didn't do it well the first time but he's been our vet for over 6 years now. My poor Benji finally was ok from neutering but now he is incontinent. Have any of you had this experience? Also he had started getting cataracts before the neutering and in less than a month both his eyes had full blast cataracts. I cry for him and try to cuddle him more. Is it possible that some vets are more careless than others? I would never do this to any of my dogs. I definitely will NOT do it to my girls! Good luck anyway |
