Progress

Sophie went back to the vet's today and it was decided to do surgery to see what was up in her belly. When they opened her up she has 2 sections of her intestine that were rotten and one was perforated so fluid was leaking into her abdomen. They took the 2 bad sections out and sent them away to be tested to see why this happened and then put her all back together. Still a good chance she may get an infection from the fluid that leaked in but they are giving her lots of antibiotics to help this. The vet said we have to take it day by day now for the next little bit but they are hopeful and I am keeping my hopes up too, shes a fighter and now we are on the right track.

I went and visited with her for a little bit tonight but she was pretty drugged up and sleeping.

Thank you to everyone for your suggestions and good thoughts for my girl....

Well at least things are moving in the right direction and now you know what to start fixing. Poor Sophie. I hope the test results give you more information and that you can get her back up and about in no time.

Wow. That is crazy. I've heard the biopsy guy they send their samples to is one of the best, so I hope you get answers and Sophie has a speedy recovery.
