Thanks Patt, I appreciate it. Back in the Fall she kept having one infection after another it seemed and would vomit at times (many times just clear, but occasionally her food). We took her to the vet and he would give her medication for her stomach, and antibiotics for a urine infection. We took her back in a few weeks and he said the urine infection had not sufficently cleared (though it was better) and he gave her another really strong antibiotic. She seemed better for a month or so, but then the vomiting started again a few weeks back. That was when we took her back to vet, and he showed us where she had an infection in her teats(sort of thick milky substance). So he gave her more antibiotics and 2 hots, and said bring her back in 4 days, and if she was well enough he would do a ovariohysterectomy (spay her)(sorry about my spelling!). So we did that, and she was well enough for the surgery. So, knowing she is an active lady, likes to climb, etc...we got a few sedation pills to keep her calm. Vet said, only give sedation if necessary, but she needs to lie still 10 days. So I bought a crate. We let her out supervised several times during the day. After 5 days of that it seemed too restrictive to us also, and her stitches looked good, so we let her out of crate. Around that time was when she started freaking out, panicky, deep crying, anxious, pacing, was like she had a different personality, and she carried her rubber squeak toy with her everywhere in her mouth while crying and she was shaking. We were freaking out then! But then when I read about similar situations of 'false pregnancy' ..someone else said their dog had tried to nurse a tennis shoe, and had other symptoms like Mitzie's we calmed down a bit. She seems better now, less crying, and is able to sleep by herself on the couch again...her old self seems to be slowly coming back. Also her swelling seems to be going down as well. We go to vet tomorrow.
Thank you Patt for caring and for responding to the questions that people ask. I hope you have a good week, God Bless. Andy |
