Keegan's having Surgery!

[aly]

For all the hundreds of spay/neuter surgeries I've seen go by without a hitch, one of the worst times was when Dessi, my first dog, got spayed I was just in second grade and didn't understand why she had to spend the night at the vet's. The day she came home, I sat with her all day and then camped out in the laundry room with her. When I woke up the next morning, the WHOLE laundry room floor was covered with blood, diarrhea, and vomit I was so mad!!!!!!! It took me a long time to understand that it was really the healthy thing to do. I hated that my baby got so sick. She was okay after a day though.

Hannah's incision did not heal well after her spaying, so every time someone's dog goes in for this procedure, I get all apprehensive. I know most dogs go through this without any problems, but once one of your own has some difficulties, you can't help but worry. I sure hope that the worst is over now and it is clear sailing. I'm glad the Vet took it seriously and gave her the once over.

Monday night was pretty good, she was in good spirits and ate pretty good. Then she started having really runny stool again, and she had me up about 3 times, wouldn't eat at all on Tues she wouldn't even sniff it so then I took it away from her, just laid and looked at me with the HUGE sad eyes, making me feel just awful. Before I went to work I took her outside she dry heaved and vomited thick salivia ( nothing in her stomach). I felt just horrible, wishing I could stay home with her.
I worried about her at work the whole time, afraid of what I might find when I got home. When I got home she went to the bathroom still had the squirts. She ate pretty good. Today, she is running around like her normal self, eating like a pig (like she hasn't eaten in 2 days!), and her stool is finally firm again! I am so glad she is feeling better. I just wish I could have stayed with her but I simply couldn't. I felt like a bad mom!

I'm glad to hear that Keegan is getting back to being her ole self. We were all keeping our fingers and paws crossed. Glad things are looking good.

Oh, Staci, I think Keegan is on the mend. I'm sure that each dog reacts differently to the surgery. Give her big hugs and kisses from Honey, Lilly, Helen and me, please.
