How could this happen? :-(((((
Hi,
I posted on here a few days ago that Bella was in season again already and we were caught out again.
We had worked out the dates and thought we would get her checked by the vets to see if she was in season and just to get her a general check up.
Well this brought about a rather nasty shock. She wasn't in season, but the bloody stains were actually yellowy blood discharge patches from an infection inside her. The vet decided spaying her was the best option!!????!!!
They went ahead and spayed her immediately because her womb had an infection in it which was quite awful. She was given antibiotics introvenously and painkillers. We collected her and all seemed fine. Then we saw blood on her baby grow. So we took her back and were told it was just discharge still from the infection that was there... She was given a shot to make the wound contract (don't understand the details) but then when we came home again she was dripping blood everywhere. We rushed back again and they said it was because the shot that made the wound contract had squeezed blood out of the wound. She used a scope to check everything was ok inside and it was. We have to monitor her tonight and take her back again tomorrow to be checked. She is still bleeding slightly.
I honestly don't understand how this infection could have become so bad, and why we hadn't noticed anything in her behaviour. If we hadn't taken her for a checkup we would never have known and this could have ended very badly... I'm worried sick that she is bleeding now and will be glad when morning comes and we can take her in to the vets again. But also frightened that she çame down'with a womb infection from what appears to be nowhere!
Has anyone ever had this experience before? Do we need to get another opinion on the bleeding? :-( The vet hospital that we use is really excellent and has a lot of experience with cavaliers and so we aren't questioning their vetinary skills but all humans can get things wrong and when it comes to our fur babies we can never be too sure!
