tammy...thanks for your info of the hydro....i have never taken a holiday before, but when i do, this info will be very helpful to me....also, thanks for the support concerning my dog tootsie....it was a stressful weekend around here but she pulled through and is on the road to recovery...the vet said he was amazed by the size of her uterus...it weighed nearly 5 pounds and at first they thought it was full of puppies because of its size...then they seen it was full of infection and blood and they had a hard time stopping the bleeding....the first 2 hours following surgery she was in very critical condition and the vet said she may need a blood transfusion and that i should round up some family members dog to be a donor...(gosh i never knew they could do all this for an animal)
her recovery was rapid and they did not do a transfusion but during the middle of the night the vet had checked on her and she was fine but by the time he got there in the morning she had gained enough strength to pull her iv out....they wanted to keep her there the rest of the weekend but i insisted i bring her home for the remainder of her recovery and she is now doing great!
my thanks to all of you who prayed for her! rainy
