Poor Star

Star was spayed on Monday.  She came home that afternoon with a happy wagging tail.  That evening she got a little droopy as expected.  Then to our horror she stood up and left a pool of blood.  So a frantic call to the vet.  We spent the night with ice packs followed by tight pressure bandages.  We reduced the bleeding to an ooze but could not stop it.  She went back to the vet on Tuesday and came home looking like a part mummy.  The good news is the bleeding appears to have stopped and Star's her perky self again.  I'm sure she will be happy when the bandage comes off at noon.

Poor Star, glad she is feeling better but what a scare!

Poor Star. Now she looks like one of our funny belted cattle. They would probably think that she was one of them. Hope all is well real soon!

That poor girl -- she's certainly had plenty to deal with. I'm glad she's on the mend.

Poor baby (and you)! maybe she is on the mend now. she has dealt with a lot.

Wow, that must have been very scary! We all like to think of spaying as a very routine surgery, but you just never know. Hope Star is back to 100% ASAP!

Poor baby. Hopefully now all the recovery will be quick. Glad she is more perky already.

I want a little girl next but I am more nervous about spaying even though we have had all our girl dogs and cats spayed. Poor baby. She will feel better in a little while.
