Tons of prayers and hugs to you and Molly.
I hope everything goes well and you finally get answers!
Good luck at the vets this friday.
If for some reason they still don't have any results for you by then PLEASE get her yo your regular vet, the poor thing sounds miserable. If your vet finds any thing that may be related to the HS get a lawyer and dispute it that way. Top priority should be that Molly gets taken care of first, regardless of who pays for it up front.
I wish I was on PT more often so I could keep up with this. I wish yous the best of luck.
I really jope everything turns out okay but if it were my dog I wouldn't take her to someone who I thought screwed up in the first place, I would go to your everyday vet and have them try to help her. If they didn't do someting right the first time, they most likely won't admit it, and therefore I wouldn't trust them and let my dog be taken care of by them again.
Yeah, we feel the same. But You can't say no to free vet care. After Christmas Molly will be going to our normal vet for the same testing.
I was just thinking --- this HAS to be an incomplete spay ... because she had a false pregnancy and even LACTATED during it.
Prayers on the way.
Prayers on the way honey! ( and btw- congrats on your new crate..)
Poor Molly, I've just seen this thread... I'll keep her in my thoughts and prayers.
I hope they find out what's exactly the problem on Friday, so that they can make her feel better ASAP ;)
Poor Molly!! I'm sending thoughts and prayers out to all of you :( Get well Molly!!
I'll be thinking of Molly tomorrow..Hopefully they can figure out what's wrong.
Went in today for second round of testing. We told her we had found blood spots on the floor around the house and she asked what it looked like... we said it looked like BLOOD. :rolleyes:
They first did a vaginal swab and there was a lot of blood. I don't know what she did, but she came back out and said they would take her, and since they had time, they would do another spaying.
She said while they're in heat is the best time (Uh, I've always heard it's NOT good). She also said that some dogs are born with extra ovarian tissue and sometimes some gets left behind and seeds into other tissue (what a load of crock!!! She's just trying to cover her @$$).
So Molly's in surgery right now. I won't be able to see her until I get off work at 11:00 tonight, so please pray for her extra hard today.. I'm nervous. :(
pm'ing you and in prayers.. Actually that can happen.. pm on the way ..
Prayers and hugs for you and your Molly girl!
More thoughts and prayers going out for Molly and the rest of the family. Get better Molly!!
Prayers for Molly that they get it right this time. Poor baby. Give her lots of luvs when she gets home.
Many hugs to you!!!
Any word yet? :confused:
I'm sure Molly will be just fine, try not to worry too much - I know it's hard. I hope they get it right this time!
Prayers going out for Molly today.
Prayers on the way for Molly, when you can please give us an update.
Personally, I wouldn't care if the vet care was free, I'd sooner take my pet to a qualified vet I trust and then bill the spay clinic for the costs if it's discovered to have been a botched spay. Sometimes you get what you pay for.
We ask questions like that at work sometimes. It's not as ridiculous as it first appears. What we're wanting to know is it dark/light colored blood, watered down blood, blood with other colors/mucus in it. Apparently to the vet it makes a big difference at times.Quote:

a low cost clinic must perform a high volume of surgeries each day. This limits the individual attention a patient can receive if an “assembly line” approach is used. Often these are the situations where only the ovaries are removed and the uterus is left behind so as to save time or where the entire spay is performed through a tiny incision only a half inch or so long so as to save time closing (and sacrifice inspection of the abdomen for bleeding).
Being in heat is the WORST time to spay. Not only is the surgery more difficult because the organs are all swelled up, and the blood vessles are larger, but it also increases the chance of an incomplete spay because the parts are harder to see.Quote:

I've read and re-read this Molly thread~ and I will keep your Molly girl in my Prayers BC_MOM~
I sure do hope this second surgury will see her through~
Notes from the vet who did the spay:
And guess who did it?? The same vet who did it last time!! How could a vet leave a WHOLE ovary behind?!?!?!Quote:
"Explority surgery was done:
Found left ovary intact + was removed"
Molly's hope.. and very exhausted.
Mom phoned to find out more details, and the vet asst. said that she probably grew at third ovary.... WHATEVER. :rolleyes:
I don't know where we're going from here, but we're going to do something about this.
That's ridiculous. I doubt she grew a third - and like you, I can't believe a vet would/could leave an ovary inside. I'm glad to hear that it's out now though and that Molly won't have to go through any more false pregnancies and such.
I had never heard about a dog growing a third ovary before, it sounds a bit weird to me. And if the vet actually left it intact the first time... :rolleyes: I just don't know what to say.
I'm glad to know that the surgery is done and Molly will start recovering, that's the most important thing.
I have never heard of a 3rd ovary- no clue!!!
Well I am glad she is home! Give her a gentle hug from us..
Brother~ That's a whooper for sure~ A third Ovary, Yeah--- okay :o
However, I'm so glad to find this up date~ Give Molly Girl some Hugs from all of us . We sure do Hope that she feels better and better, with each New Day~
Well, whatever created the condition, at least now hopefully Molly will get better and stay that way (no 4th 5th or 6th ovaries we hope ;) ) Hugs to your precious girl!
Geez! I hope Molly is recovering okay. *hugs* to her.
sorry I have been gone from PT for a little while so I am just now reading this! ...poor molly! I am so sorry that you and her have had to go through this! but it sounds like hopefully everything has been fixed and she will be feeling loads better!.... :)
them saying this distrubes me! I work at a Vet clinic and the doc always askes them to bring there dog in perferably before their first heat or when they are not in heat because it is very risky for the dog their organs are swollen and they loose a ton of blood so it is harder for them to recover...so either they are trying to cover something up or they don't know what they are talking about hmm idk it just sounds fishy!Quote:

Hello
I just read about your Molly and am so sorry to hear about this botched surgery! I think my dog has also had a botched spay. I adopted her from the Humane Society last Monday (the 18th) and noticed today that she is bleeding and is swollen too! I have called the vet at the shelter and have an appointment this afternoon, but they also said to get a urine sample because she may have a urinary tract infection. Is that what happened to you too? Please send me an email if you can. Thanks so much.

A third Ovary?!? Give me a flipping break!! :rolleyes:
That's the Dr's way of trying to cover up his own mistake.
I'm so glad this is now all behind you and Molly!!
I hope she's already started to feel better!!
This vet is absalutely ridiculous! 3rd ovary? Come ON.
Prayers for Molly still headed your way :(
I hope Molly is recovering well from her surgery. That vet should not be practicing. A third ovary??? That is ridiculous. Please give Molly a hug and kiss from me. I do hope her ordeal is over now.
I am just now seeing this thread today for the first time! (Sorry, I'm bad about not visiting Dog General often enough.) I am so very sorry that your poor Molly has had to suffer all of these months for NOTHING! I am also sorry that you and your family have had to worry about her all of this time as well. It definitely sounds like this vet is very incompetent. I think some times the "less desirable" vets are the ones who get the low-cost clinic jobs! :( I am glad that Molly came through her surgery and I hope and pray that she is doing well today!
Hugs,
Kim
Thank you, Kim. And everyone. :)
Molly's has been recovering well. The vet did say that the head on her vulva is very large and may possibly cause problems down the road - what kind of problems, I have no idea. Any ideas?
Her incision is almost completely healed and she should be ready for flyball on the 7th.
I really want to take some kind of action on the Humane Society for this - especially for denying and not admitting to their stupid mistakes, but I have no idea if there is anything we can do.
