There was something wrong with Rosy.<\/p>\n

Sunday morning, upon waking up, instead of trotting by my side in her usual manner to the kitchen, Rosy wouldn\u2019t get out of bed.\u00a0 She never needs prompting to go to outside and to eat breakfast. When she slowly made her way to me, after some cajoling, her tail was tucked completely under her belly, she looked up at me from out of her head hanging low, and looking like she was not feeling well at all.\u00a0 \u201cOh no!” I thought “What’s wrong, Rosy?”<\/p>\n

She did eat, and went for a short walk which might have lulled me into a false sense of security had she not kept flopping down and acting lethargic. \u00a0Time to call the 24 hour local emergency vet. Being overwhelmed with patients, and not seeing her symptoms as critical, I was advised to wait until Monday to see my regular vet, unless “she won\u2019t eat, drink, or starts to vomit” Quite the opposite, she was unusually thirsty \u2013 returning over and over again to her water bowl.<\/p>\n

It was tough waiting it out until Monday. Talking to the vet tech, on the phone I was offered the option of seeing an unfamiliar practitioner that day or wait until Tuesday when Rosy’s primary, Dr. Barbara Royal, whom, I might add, is so much more than just a Veterinarian to us, would be in the office. I took the gamble to wait for Dr. Royal who has known Rosy since I adopted her when she was one year old. That night, I started thinking that I may have overreacted in my mind. Maybe it was\u00a0 just impacted anal glands – which is something Rosy gets on occasion and makes her lethargic.<\/p>\n

With relief, Tuesday arrived. Even though Rosy greeted Dr. Royal with her usual affection, it was clear that she was not her normal self. Rosy buried her head into her friend’s lap seeking comfort.\u00a0 Examining her belly, Dr. Royal asked\u00a0 \u201cis her abdomen more swollen than normal, or am I imagining it? I noticed that too last night, I said, it is bigger.” Blood work and x-rays ensued.<\/p>\n

Rosy and I quietly sat waiting for test results and soon Dr. Royal who I call by her first name, came back in the room. Calmly looking me right in the eye she tells me \u00a0“She has a large mass in her spleen. She is anemic, which is why she has been thirsty. She is slowly bleeding into her abdomen, so we have to remove her spleen today to get rid of the tumor and prevent the spleen from bursting.\u00a0 If she bleeds out she could die.”<\/p>\n

Emergency surgery? Tumor? Possible cancer? Now? I was stunned into silence – trying to absorb the information.<\/p>\n

It is standard medical practice in cases like these to remove the spleen entirely when there is a tumor. The spleen, I learned, is an organ in the abdomen that filters waste and bacteria from the blood, but dogs and humans can function without it.<\/p>\n

The staff sprung into action. Lab reports created, more diagnostics, X-ray confirmations and phone calls were made. Dr. Royal seeking a surgeon that could take Rosy right away.<\/p>\n

In short order an emergency clinic and surgeon was found, thanks to the diligence and emotional entreaty of Dr. Royal who shared that Rosy was more like a daughter to her then a patient. This\u00a0 was no mean feat in times of a global pandemic when people can sit in a parking lot for 12 hours with a sick pet waiting to be seen. I was given paperwork, an address, and out the door Rosy and I hustled to get to the Veterinary Emergency Group\u00a0 (called VEG for short), in downtown Chicago, where the O.R. was being prepped. \u00a0As I drove the 40 minutes I was feeling little – thinking only of what had to be done. \u00a0In crisis situations, I tend to be calm and stoic. Don\u2019t feel much emotion at the time. That comes later.<\/p>\n

My first exposure to an animal emergency room. We were whisked through the waiting room to the ER as her case was deemed critical. Somewhat unsettling to see dogs and cats everywhere in various states of disease, illness and pain, everyone sharing the same large space. The atmosphere was hectic and noisy, yet the numerous staff kept it controlled and efficient. I witnessed a dog suspected of eating poison being induced to vomit to my left and in front of me, a small dog getting an IV,\u00a0 whose terror filled screams unnerved both Rosy and me.<\/p>\n

Rosy’s turn. She was given an IV for fluids, a tranquilizer, and blood tests for clotting factor. Through all the procedures, she was her calm uncomplaining self, even trying to reassure me by licking my arm.\u00a0 That little gesture – right to my heart. Ultrasound of her abdomen was next. \u00a0She was hoisted onto a large table and her belly shaved and prepped. Then intubated to give her the anesthetic. And then the reality of what is happening to her catches up to me. \u00a0I am choking back tears. I haven\u2019t seen Rosy put under before.<\/p>\n

Her surgeon, Dr. Shanks, who had explained everything to me step by step suggested I go to the waiting room if it was too upsetting to watch this. I declined.\u00a0 I wanted to stay with her until she was taken to the OR. All my questions were answered by the efficient doctor and staff, but the ultimate verdict wouldn\u2019t be known until they saw what was happening during this partially “exploratory” procedure.\u00a0 Gulp!<\/p>\n

I was pointed to a blissfully quiet, small waiting area where time felt suspended. Eventually, \u00a0the doctor comes out of the O.R. and told me Rosy did fine, spleen successfully removed, biopies taken, she\u2019s out of recovery and in her cage, and I could go see my darling!!<\/p>\n

Yikes. Rosy is not her normal self.\u00a0 After the drugs and anesthetics she looks and acts drunk, weaving back and forth, unable to focus, spaced out.\u00a0 The doctors call it dysphoria, and it will wear off. I stand in front of her and softly call her name. Her glazed, wandering eyes, stop at the sound, focus and lock onto my eyes. \u00a0Oh, she sees me now and knows I’m here. What relief and joy, I cannot begin to explain the power of the moment. In too short of a time, she is again overtaken by dysphoria and sinks into herself. It is normal they say and will stop. Sigh\u2026. I\u2019m glad the operation is over, but I’m still rather numb.<\/p>\n

I am allowed to sit by her cage where I can stay all night if I wish. \u00a0I am humbled by the staff’s patience and tolerance with all the pet parents hovering by their recovering pets. \u00a0Melissa, the tech, assigned to Rosy, tells me what is happening as they hook up machines to monitor her heart and patiently assures me I am not in the way.<\/p>\n

Being reassured that Rosy is in good hands, I’m not sure if I should stay the night or not, would it help Rosy? Melissa tells me that soon, my dog will stop her clumsy, restlessness and need to sleep, being under sedation, she won\u2019t be aware if I\u2019m not there. I can check in any time I need to \u2013 they\u2019ll even send texts and pictures.\u00a0 It\u2019s been a long, challenging day, I’m cold and hungry so finally I decide to go home to recoup. I\u2019ll be bringing her home tomorrow. The staff will be watching over her all night long.\u00a0 I silently wish her a good sleep and promise I will be back for her.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the photo and text I got that night.<\/p>\n

\"\"



At 11:00 p.m. they sent me this and texted that she was finally sleeping. Had been given additional pain meds which helped her to relax.<\/p><\/div>\n

We\u2019re home \u2013 she\u2019s still heavily drugged, wobbley and shaky but I can tell she is glad to be here. I go into full blown nurse mode, administering medicines \u00a0and making our environment “Rosy safe” for her new fashionable look.\u00a0 The cone.<\/p>\n

\"Mom,

“Mom, I don’t feel so good”<\/p><\/div>

\"\"

“I’ve got an icky taste in my mouth”<\/p><\/div>

\"\"

“Now, I gotta sneeze”<\/p><\/div>\n

Rules for major abdominal surgery \u2013bed rest and no walks (just out to pee and poop) for two weeks. She must not scratch or nibble at the incision which is long and could break open, so I must be strict \u2013 the cone stays on if I\u2019m not watching her every move.\u00a0 I will be the best cone police to serve and protect her from infection, leakage or breakage.<\/p>\n

Not an easy task initially. I finally found the way to keep her from pushing the cone off her head with her paws. I attached it to her collar.\u00a0 At VEG the cone was tied on with roll gauze that looped through the cone and tied around her neck. Didn\u2019t feel very secure to me at all.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Here is Rosy safe and cone secure. This is the mat that is her bed for the next two weeks. Gives her space to hang her cone head over off the mat, without clunking herself into anything but the floor. Whatever works.<\/p><\/div>\n

Until I figured the cone thing out, I was not leaving her alone at all for the first few days.\u00a0\u00a0 Was getting panicky \u2013 how am I to take a shower if I can\u2019t take my eyes off of her.\u00a0\u00a0 Maybe lack of sleep from administering her meds around the clock was taking its toll on my thinking process. \u00a0You probably knew you\u2019re supposed to attach the cone to the dog\u2019s collar.<\/p>\n

The pain medicine she is on makes her very sedated. Basically what she is doing is sleeping.\u00a0 Which makes it very easy to keep her in bed.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Rosy, pretty much sedated by the drug, Gabapentin being used for controlling pain after surgery.<\/p><\/div>

\"\"

She sleeps a lot.<\/p><\/div>\n

I wake her up for her pills, to go out briefly, and for her meals \u2013 she is very hungry and highly enthusiastic about the treats I give her every time I put her head back in the cone.<\/p>\n

\"\"



And sleeps some more.<\/p><\/div>\n

It’s surprising to me that she sleeps so well with her face resting on plastic. I tried the softer cones but she just could not navigate her way with wider darker colored cones \u2013 just froze in place with her nose pointing up high, waving her head around acting like she was blind. \u00a0The hard plastic one works for her. The determined little trooper, has learned to yank her head away when she knocks into things and mostly can untrap herself if the cone catches. Until she can’t and then I come rescue her.<\/p>\n

\"\"

I forget some times and move furniture in her way.<\/p><\/div>\n

When she is awake she really needs a lot of my attention and reassurance. She wants me to rub her ears and I kiss her muzzle putting my head in the cone with her. The major adventure of each day is her cone comes off, we go outside and she sniffs her favorite spot in our backyard where critters hide under a neighbor’s shed that is on the other side of our fence. \u00a0She could stay there all day long inhaling scent. I give her 10 minutes. Then back to bed.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Awake and somewhat alert – You can see in her eyes that she’s a bit out of it.<\/p><\/div>

\"\"



So good to see her out of her cone. In the sunny spot she loves to sit when awake.<\/p><\/div>\n

I\u2019ve finally been able to catch my mind and emotions up to what happened and I\u2019m taking it day by day for what she and I are experiencing. I\u2019ve felt the sadness about when she was so sick. Dr. Royal described it as feeling like there was a bowling ball in her stomach. Just last night, I finally acknowledged my fear and cried about the scary emergency surgery she had to have and what if I had NOT taken her to see Dr. Royal that day.\u00a0 I am so grateful about how Barbara responded so fast and so efficiently to the situation while adding love and compassion for me and Rosy \u2013 both of us got hugs as we headed out the door to get to her operation and Dr. Royal acknowledged what a scary thing this was. Even though I didn\u2019t feel it until it was all over, Rosy was out of danger, spleen free, and was home with me again.<\/p>\n

Ah, she just woke up. Here she is. The medicine makes her mouth dry.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_video src=”https:\/\/raisingyourpaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_4491.MOV” _builder_version=”4.10.8″ _module_preset=”default” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”0px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_video][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.10.8″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]
