Ruby amputation today

Ruby went into surgery this afternoon to amputate her back hind left leg.  The Vet has called me a few times to tell me that she was seeping blood, but she wrapped her and then she was still bleeding a lot a few hours later.  She opened her back up to make sure nothing was bleeding and then closed her back up again.  She is going to remain there overnight with Ruby.  So worried about my dog.  This is a very stressful situation and complicated procedure, evidently.  I will call them tomorrow to find out how she was thru the night.  🙁

  1. I know the entire Community wishes we could all be there to hug you! You have to be stressed out of your mind!

    For whatever it’s worth, these things do happen. I’m glad that the vet is staying overnight with her to monitor her. Just like with humans, sometimes they even have to do a blood transfusion.

    We are all going to be sending positive energy and best wishes for a smooth recovery.

    I know it’s impossible to get some rest, but try anyway. Ruby is on some good pain meds and probably seeing pink elephants by now!

    Sending lots of love and hugs

    Sally and Alumni Happy Hannah and Merry Myrtle and Frankie too!
