Keva is getting spayed tomorrow (Update 3/24)

[Ginger's Mom]

Too much knowledge isn't necessarily a good thing. I know that you are a good doggie mom and wanted to be able to do whatever you could for your pup, but you may just be worrying unnecessarily. Hopefully it is just a puppy thing, or minor infection and she will be cleared up in no time. {{{Gentle hugs}}} to the little cutie, and more to you.

Darn, sorry to hear that she has an infection I hope she gets over it quickly.

Now Amy don't go being like me and worrying your self to death. I'm sure if it was anything bad your vet would have been questioning it more. I'm sure she's going to be just fine. Give her some big hugs and kisses from me

Oh, no.... I will be praying for Keva, that the infection goes away soon. Keep up updated!

I'm sorry to hear this Amy, but try not to get too worried. There are a VAST number of things that can cause elevated white counts, from scary things (which I seriously doubt) to something as simple as a UTI, and even sometimes high stress level can elevate it. It somewhat depends on how elevated, but if it was something shockingly high I imagine your vet would be doing more testing and worrying about it. Please try not to worry. Look at it as a headache if you can. You can look up headaches and find some seriously scary things that cause them, but more than likely it is nothing like that and most headaches are minor and temporary without devastating cause.

You and Keva will be in my thoughts. I'm glad to hear she is acting well. That's a prime indication that she's doing just fine! Give her and Nebo some hugs and kisses for me

Amy,

Kay just pointed this out to me and I just wanted to let you know that I'm thinking about you and Keva. Try not to worry to much. I'm sure everything is going to be just fine. Give that gorgeous girl a hug from me and don't leave Nebo and Syd out gotta give them a hug too.

Don't worry, Mom! Your girl will be just fine.

{{{HUGS}}}

A little update again. Yesterday (sunday) evening she was running in the yard playing with Nebo. I was out with them, I'm not sure exactly what happened, but I think she went to run under the deck and she slammed into either the wooden post of the deck or a rock under the deck. All I know is that she started screaming her little head off and she was holding up one leg, I had to crawl under the deck to get her out.

After she calmed down she seemed ok, I can move the leg around and she doesn't act like it hurts, and there's no swelling. She's a bit of a drama queen so I didn't know how bad she hurt herself, Nebo has ran into things in the yard before and acted like that then been fine later. I thought she had stopped limping that night, but maybe I just couldn't tell, because when I got home from work tonight I noticed she's limping. She can put weight on it ok, but she just limps. She acts normal, playful, eating ok, etc. I'm actually having a hard time keeping her calm she wants to run but I don't want her to hurt herself more.

The vets are closed tonight and I'm not sure if I can get her in there tomorrow either, I have a really busy day scheduled at work. She has an appointment on Wednesday to get spayed. I have a feeling that's not going to happen again, but we'll see. So if I can't get her in tomorrow, I'm going to have her leg/shoulder (I'm not sure which is hurt) x-rayed on wednesday. As well as a blood test again to see if her white blood count is back to normal, and if everything is ok with that and her leg, then to get spayed too. So if you could please keep her in your thoughts and maybe say a prayer that she will be ok, I would appreciate it.
