Poor Maddie

After Surgery, was a sweet girl!

Trying to wake up after surgery.

Our Sweet Maddie on Tuesday night was acting really weird. She came home and all she wanted to do was lay down and sleep. She had no interest in eating or drinking, Brandon tried to take her to the bathroom and she didn't want to. So we knew something was wrong. I took her to the vet that morning and her temp was 95.5 and a dog's temp is supposed to be around 100. So immediate they took her into the exam room and put heating pads on her and blankets and towels. We had to wait until the Vet got their to do anything. When he walked in he could tell that she didn't look good. She was very pail and her she looked in shock. He felt around her abdomen and could tell that something was not right. She he took her back to get x-rays and blood work. The moment though he stuck a needle into her stomach he drew blood. So she was bleeding internally. So emergency surgery was a must. Her blood count was really low, so they had to get someone to donate blood. So they got the blood, and surgery was under way. They found out that she had a tumor on her spleen that ruptured. So they had to take the spleen out. Her tumor was the smaller than a softball, but bigger than a baseball. So that is going to be sent to the lab. We won't find anything out for 5 to 7 days. We are hoping for a good sign. After she woke up and was coming back around, she was ready to go. She was standing at the door and was looking at me and saying can we go now!!! I want to leave!
So just keep us in your thought, and keep our Maddie as well. She is 5 and I would love to see her live a lot longer.
