Most of the time the biggest worry when they go into the torsion is the back up of all "bad stuff" when they straighten it out all that "bad stuff" rushes their system and causes major problems.

We lost a racer after surgery was done due to this :(

 

Many good thoughts and tons of prayers headed your way. Do they have any idea why she's bloating so much?

 

They don't know why she is bloating. Yesterday was a completely normal day. She was fine all day and was normal when we kissed her good night. There was no running before or after her meal. She eats raw, but dinner was just the ground meat with veggie - which she has been eating for months without problem.

 

The vet did address the "bad stuff" rushing into their system and said that they are aware of this happening. Specifically the spleen - so they are going to check everything thoroughly and remove the spleen if needed.

god I hope this works.

Update 11:30

She is on the table. The vet just called to let us know that her spleen is 4 times the size it should be... so they are removing it. Good Lord. I hope that all of this will help her and she will be feeling fine again soon.

thanks for the good thoughts - you are all wonderful

Adding my prayers and good thoughts to all those for beautiful Bailey. What a frightening time for you - it sounds like Bailey is getting the best of care and everything possible will be done for her. Hugs to you and fingers crossed here that Bailey will have a quick recovery! :candle :candle :grouphug :grouphug

Oh, Eva, I'm so glad you rushed her right in.

 

Poor baby girl must have been so miserable.

 

Prayers for her and for you guys - you need to catch a break!!!

Oh no! :ohno Just seeing this. Eva, I'm so sorry. Thank you for keeping us updated... I will be keeping Bailey in my thoughts. Sending hugs your way. Keeping my fingers crossed that the surgery goes well. It's so great that you can trust your vets implicitly, I remember reading your posts about how wonderfully Carrier was taken care of. It means so much.

My friend's non-grey dog bloated last year, had the stomach-tacking surgery and has done beautifully ever since. I am saying prayers for Bailey!

More Prayers and White Light for Bailey. We have had two greyhounds that had their spleens removed. They both made out fine.
