I'm so happy to hear Gidget's recovering well, and it was caught before it became fatal. I'm rather surprised none of your vets even suggested having her spayed long ago to avoid her even getting pyo. I wouldn't worry about going to work and leaving her alone, as long as she takes her meds. They took out all the infection with her uterus and ovaries. She'll be feeling 100% in a few days I'm sure.
