Cindy. If it's not one thing, it's another!

It was a glorious bank holiday weekend, people all over the land were lighting BBQs, sipping cool beers and getting sun burnt. Cindy, however, was not embracing the good weather. She felt sick, all hot and bothered and had the worse tummy ache of her life. A trip to the vets was in order.  Steve, being the good vet he is, quickly spotted her dehydration, temperature and sore tummy and responded with IV fluids and some good drugs. But what could be wrong with Cindy, could it be a tummy upset, or was Mr pancreas cross or worse still was Miss uterus cross and infected?

The next day Cindy was much more herself although the reason for her illness was still proving elusive. Back at home, Cindy was miserable again so Tuesday morning back to the vets. Poor Cindy’s tummy ache was so bad now that she needed an operation. When Katherine opened her abdomen, copious yellow fluid spilled out onto the floor – OH GOSH! But why, where is it coming from? Suction please! Oh no, Cindy has a ruptured gall bladder because of a gall stone! This is so rare, even Andy hadn't seen this before (and he has been graduated for so long he used to treat poorly Triceratops!) What should we do? Sarah then joined the party in theatre and together we decided to remove Cindy’s gall bladder. This procedure went well, Katherine and Sarah were feeling pretty chuffed with their handy work, so all that was left to do was close up. However, as they are good veterinary surgeons (like Steve) they checked the rest of her abdomen first. What is this….!! Cindy has a pyometra as well! What are the chances of that, poor Cindy, what a very unlucky dog. Thus, the surgical team set to work spaying Cindy before finally closing her up. 

Cindy was a very poorly girl, having a ruptured gall bladder and uterine infection in one. However, being a terrier she is suborn beast and she was not going to be beaten! 

Wednesday morning, we have a new dog on our hands. Tummy ache gone, breakfast, yes please! Cindy had her final post operation check last week, she is now a totally different dog, it’s like it never happened, what an amazing little girl!
