    My baby is sick but getting better

    My 10 year old lab that is not speyed developed pyometra . She started feeling bad Thursday. I took her to the emergency vet Friday at Midnight and was there till 3, she had surgery early in the morning. She is in pain and discomfort and I feel awful that I can only do so much. She cries as soon as I leave her side .
    If your dog is not speyed and near 10 please think about doing so . I did not think the risk was so high for a well kept dog. She prefers the couch and a raft in the pool over field and stream. My wife takes her in the morning to be checked over. I hope she is ok the pain seem unbearable.

    I'm really sorry to hear about you buddy. An operation on an older dog is rough.
    Just like any surgery, the first couple of days are the worse.
    I hope the antibiotics work and the pain meds will make her more comfortable.

    I spayed my lab at about 10 months. Like anything else you're told to do, your mileage may vary. Her chest has two tumors in it and they've been getting bigger and bigger. Spaying was supposed to lower the chance of fatty and cancerous tumors. I guess she might have had four instead of two?
