How did it go?

How did it go?

I scampered back to pet talk, thinking that BC_Mom had posted an up date ~

We're Praying for your Dear Molly, can you tell?

[BC_MoM]

Thanks for the prayers.

Here's an update for those of you who care to read it:

Apparently all the tests today were inconclusive. Basically, I guess, they want her to go in next week again so they can do them again and compare to this weeks.

There was nothing to show in any of the tests things that you would find in results of a pregnant dog.

Nor was there a sign of infection.

But when they did the urinary swab (that's what my Dad called it - they may have called it something else) they did find traces of blood.

I wish I would have gone, because I'm not sure what any of this really means.

Sounds to me like they're trying to make sure that this doesn't turn out to be an incomplete spay so that they don't look bad (maybe that's just me though - because I don't support them).

Okay- get some cranberry capsules from CVS/drugstore/walmart. GIve her a full one first dose ( one full capsule)- then later 1/2 capsule in both feedings. Blood in the urine swipe could be a lot of things, including a stone that will pass. The cranberry will help alot!!! Also- get pedialyte- non flavored- for one day- one half water- one half pedialyte- after that just a little like a half a cup .. What this does is give the cranberry the electrolights it needs to work quicker..
Thank you for posting- we have all been worried!!! You have my pm and my instant messanger id if you need me.. Both are in prayers honey..

No sign of an "Infection"~ gasp!!! says Dorothy~

So, what is "traces of blood" huh?

It certainly " lights up the old question bulb" , I tend to agree with your confusion ~

My mind would be Wandering too~

How is Molly doing now?

[BC_MoM]

Thanks you two.

Borzoimom, I'll check out the capsules tonight at work. Thanks.

Molly's fine right now - a little stressed and tuckered out from the ''excitement'' today.

Those capsules are cheap. I pull them apart and dump into the food. And they work. Keep us posted.

Are you close to a reputable veterinary school? I had a wonderful experience with the Virginia Tech Small Animal Clinic when I went with my friend. Their equipment is the latest, the staff extremely knowledgeable and owner friendly. Have you considered a second opinion if you're not satisfied with the info you're being given? Good luck with Molly and I hope she soons feels better and gets well. BTW, if the vet is reputable and can't come up with the answer they should be referring you anyway.

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

[Daisy and Delilah]

Poor Molly!! I'm sending thoughts and prayers out to all of you Get well Molly!!

[molucass]

I'll be thinking of Molly tomorrow..Hopefully they can figure out what's wrong.

[BC_MoM]

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.

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.

[borzoimom]

pm'ing you and in prayers.. Actually that can happen.. pm on the way ..

[Catty1]

Prayers and hugs for you and your Molly girl!
