DH rang this morning while I was taking kids to CC and they suggested picking her up and taking her to a local vet as would be much cheaper than staying there. They had overnight given her meds and drained fluid but was still an issue. They told DH that if we picked her up by 1000 would be $800 if we waited till afternoon would be $1400 so i dropped kids off picked DH up drove to get dog from emerg vet, he dropped me at work dropped her at local vet went home changed his shirt as blood and stuff on it then dropped car back to me!! This all before 0900 after getting to bed at 0200.
Local vet are monitering her said some improvement this arvo but not stable enought for surgery, so staying over night and see what happens. Still ? what cause is as redness, fluid, swelling bilateral.
I mentioned Lort smith to DH and the vet did suggest them or local vet, he rang local vet. Will certinley remind him again if we need to decide anything.
So update is she is still leaking some urine into abdo, not sure why but hoping where ever hole is self heals. Still has an open drain to drain fluid, still on oral antibiotcs (IV fluid and AB's finished on tuesday night). They wanted me to pick her up tonight but given fact I have to work tomorrow I am picking her up tomorrow night instead as I dont want her home alone all day, will be hard keeping her quiet with 2 kids and away from other dog as much as possible so he doesn't lick her wounds. They are hoping another 2 weeks to heal.
Home now still has drain holes and on oral ab's and NSAID's. She is crazy and jumping and running as usual happy to be home, kids were excited then freaked out when she ran at them with an Elizabethan collar on!! To go back tuesday to vets.
