We have an 11yr old siberian husky (female)
up til late this arvo, she was a happy content playful dog......then she became lathargic, unhappy and just plain not herself.....
I watched her for a bit and noticed she was cleaning herself down there alot, told DH who checked her out and saw some puss coming out of her...not alot but enough to be concerned....
Being not only a weekend but a long weekend, finding a Vet that was open that was local was hard, the only one we could get into was an emergency vet 25min away......
so we put on her harness and lead and she perked up, DH decided to take her for a walk and see how that went, she came back a little happier, so we let her go for a bit, about 3hrs later we decided to take her in, she was the same and not looking good.....
$302 later all we know is that it could be an Ovary infection (which could be life threatening) or a bone lodge in her tummy.....they wanted to charge us $1600 to keep her in overnight and do xrays and ultrasound......payable when we picked her up, unfortunately we dont have that money laying around, so asked what we could do? he said to give her some antibiotics and meds and keep an eye on her......she had a fever aswell........so he gave her an injection and some meds, sent us home with some meds to take twice daily and told to bring her in if she got any worse.....
So being a public holiday tomorrow, we have to wait til tue to get into a normal hours clinic and be reassesed, as we are able to get it cheaper and on payment plan if we do this.....
so we are praying she is ok until tue.....please say a little prayer for her..... she is a well loved part of the family here and me being so close to birth (i could go anyday now, another story) i really dont want to think about her leaving us now......
