Sadie needs Prayers

[Cincy'sMom]

Thanks guys for the continued prayers! We of course aren't out of the woods yet. She is still at the ER vet, resting on fluids and her red blood cells are still low, but hopefully will come back up soon.

The tumor wasn't what the vet expected when he opened her up. It was actually so large that is basically split her spleen. We have sent it out for pathology and we will know more in a few days, but she may need some chemo and we are parying that it was not a Hemangiosarcoma, which is a very aggressive form of cancer and what about 60-70% of these cases are. The vet said it did not visually look like one, but we won't know for sure for a few days.

If all goes well, the plan is still to bring her home tonight. I have already made arrangements to work from home tomorrow and I think my BIL is going to watch her on Thursday.

Still thinking and praying for Sadie and hoping for a good pathology report.

Sadie got home about 5:30 last night and is doing pretty well. She has eaten 2 cans of food (fork fed to her of course!), but she isn't wanting to drink much yet. I am hoping the 72 hours of IV fluids just have her feeling abit water logged and she will start drinking again soon. If not, I'll shove it down her throat with a syringe She has gone out to pee a few times, but for the most part is just resting.

We are going back to the vet to check her PVC number (packed cell volume, related to red blood cells) this morning. It was 28% when we took her to the ER after surgery, 25% at midnight, 26% at 7:30 yesterday morning, 27% at 4 pm yesterday. Normal is 35%, but of course it would be lower right after surgery. Want to see it continue to increase and critical part is that is doesn't drop below 20% which is when they start talking blood transfusion.

Glad to hear Sadie is home and resting! Here's hoping for good numbers.

PCV was at 30% this morning! Sadie drank some water as soon as we got home from the vet and everyone there was so thrilled with how good she looked. Path report should be back before the end of the week.
