Oh no, poor poor Mandy. Yous will be in my thoughts & prayers thats for sure.

Usually they do one of two things for this. Injections to cause cramps in her uterus which the vet is sure her heart could not take. Or getting her spayed. The only way we would consider spaying her is to try to save her life as she might not live through the spay. My vet is confident she will make it through this. I am almost tired of praying.

Not sure if I am reading this the right way, neither of the 2 treatments are suitable for Mandy?

If there is anything I can do please let me know.

I'm so terribly sorry to hear that Mandy is so sick, but it sounds like the vet is prositive about her making it through this and that is good to hear.

I understand the being tired of praying, so when you get tired you just take a rest and we'll be doing the praying for you.

Lots of (((HUGS)))

Thinking of Mandy and keeping her in my prayers.

Thank you everyone for your replies and your prayers. Mandy seems a bit better today, has been keeping her pills down.We have to watch she doesn't drink too much water at a time or she will throw up. She has really made a mess of the carpet, but I clean behind her and do have a rug shampooer. She ruined Laceys orthopedic bed today though. Lacey will have to use Mandys she just got for her birthday since I won't let her use it because she is draining.
We still have aways to go but I am happy to see Mandy feeling just the tiniest bit better.

Not sure if I am reading this the right way, neither of the 2 treatments are suitable for Mandy?

lv4dogs, neither treatment is a good idea for Mandy. She was born with a valve too small for her heart. That is why she isn't spayed.

I understand the being tired of praying, so when you get tired you just take a rest and we'll be doing the praying for you.

anna, this brought tears to my eyes. That is the spirit of PT.

Thank you all!

Glad to hear she's even doing the slightest bit better, it's better than nothing isn't it.
More hugs and prayers that she's feeling even better very soon.

The reason you didn't hear from me last night...I was in the basement with Mandy. We thought she was dying.Couldn't get her up the steps no way so around 11:00 I set up camp on a lawn chair (the lay down type) and went to sleep with her. Around 3:00 am I woke up ,cold, and opened my eyes and Mandy was looking at me like "what ya doing down here mom?" She made it up the stairs, took her out to pee, she drank some, even ate a little chicken and rice!(first she's ate in 3 days) ..Please keep praying for her ,she's not over this yet, we really thought she was gonna be gone last night. Just thought I'd let ya know what's going on.]
I talked to one of our vets today, she felt the same as the first vet, that Mandy has a good chance of recovering from this. That we are between a rock and a hard place with Mandy as far as treament goes. She said she would spay Mandy but she would be very scared. It would be risky. Right now we have to a make sure we get enough water into her without her throwing it up, a little at a time. She also said if she makes it through these first few days we should be ok. I told her about last night and she said she could have just been exhausted.
Please keep her in your prayers just a little longer until we get her through this, I really thought we would lose her last night.
