Just an update. Thanks for all the responses and also concerned about how my baby is doing. I'm sorry if I haven't responded on the thread, I meant to respond yesterday but I have a lot to take care of.. She's doing so much better now, back to her old self. What a weekend we had tho. We took her to the emergency last Saturday after she puked, they only did an X-ray as the doc assumed she ingested something. Since they didn't find anything, they gave her fluids and nausea shot and let us take her home. We had to bring her back the next day, Sunday because she was not feeling any better. Still didn't want to eat nor drink and very weak and started to have that foul smelling white discharge. The doc did blood work this time and found that her white blood cells were elevated so she did have an infection. They sent us home with an antibiotic and $800 later. And she did a quick ultrasound from their 'crappy' machine as she stated for 'free'. The results scared us as she said one of her kidneys was enlarged and she was seeing something with her ureter that she assumes was accidentally tied up when she got spayed. Immediately asked us to let her stay in for a few days and have the specialist next door can really looked into the kidneys further for another $800. We had to refuse as it was sounding more ridiculous and my gut was saying NO. Next day, monday, we got an appointment with a local vet(1st vet since we got her) and had her checked up and this time we were more concered as she still hasn't gone potty #2 since Saturday morning. The vet pulled out the hard poop and her diagnosis was that since when she got spayed she was only given 3 days worth of pain meds, that she *ran out too early so Saturday all the pain just kicked in and her body couldn't handle, which was also the reason why she didn't want to go potty #2 because of the pain from pushing. This local vet prescribed a few more days of pain meds and also did an ultrasound on her kidneys as the doc from emergency sent her papers there. She said that the kidneys look perfectly fine and should there be nothing to worry about and her concern is more of her pain, appetite and bowel movement. Yesterday sookie is almost like a brand new puppy. No signs of pain, finally got to eat better and was able to go #2 without signs of pain. We just fell in love with this local vet and we can see that she a actually cares for her patients. And we only spent $50 with the meds included. Unbelievable how that emergency place almost robbed us naked. Lesson leHi there! Thanks for asking. I've been meaning to put an update on the entry last night but I got busy.
