Guest janiek Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 That is exactly what I think. If it were a human, we don't go around with our insides hanging out....I'm thinking that finances are the reason the vet is taking the actions that he has perscibed. I don't even have any idea how much this would even cost at this point. He knows my situation and to date has been very cooperative and understanding.....She will be safe, I give you my promise that I will do everything with my power and whatever it takes to make this right for Ginger. No body part, whatever it is & whyever it is should be falling out & needing to be pushed back in. She needs surgery of some kind. There are groups (adoption & otherwise) that will help you & your girl. Please let them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaisyDoodle Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 If you are in western PA, please consider going to Dr. Radcliffe's in Wheeling. While he's an orthopedic surgeon, he's also a greyhound owner and has incredibly reasonable rates. If you are in his area give his office a call and see if they can help you. If you can't reach him, let me know. They lost phone service with the wicked weather we had Friday night. I can reach his office on FB or with other phone numbers I have. If you need a ride, let me know. I'm in the area this week.

Guest janiek Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Oh my goodness........thank you for your kind offer. Unfortunately I am not in Western PA. But thank you for the suggestion. I hope he and everyone else affected by the storm gets back to normal quickly. Again, thank you, but I regretfully need to decline your offer....

I am trying my best to listen, absorb and follow all the great advice here. she did ok yesterday. right now, she is still asleep and i'm trying to get threw to National Greyhounds here in Philly but they don't open till 8 am. So I will wait to wake the puppers all up because I usually feed them their breakfast right away and if I can get her in and maybe they will want to do surgery, I hope. Wish me luck...............I'll worry about $$$$ later, her health comes first. So sorry you and your girl are going through this.

Hubcitypam Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Maybe hold off on breakfast until you can see if they can get her in today. You are in my thoughts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleptogrey Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 http://www.ngap.org/greyhound-health-vulva-tuck-y320.html i personally no absoutley nothing about the facility, but when i read the title, and went thru the human side of a prolapsed uterus- i had to read the blog. but the description made me think of a vulva tuck- which i think can look pretty wierd. it sounds like ngap may have some reduced rates,( their dentals are cheaper than anyone in the ny area) anyone out there know the reputation of the facility????

Guest janiek Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Good morning everyone and thank you for all your support. Well, this morning Ginger went out and peed and when she came back to me, I noticed that she started to dribble a bit. This is the first sighting since going onto the DES (of which was stopped per the vet 1 week ago this past Saturday). Other than that, I had put a call into NGAP early this am (7:30) and they called me back and told me to bring her in at 11:00 for an evaluation. I did not feed her breakfast yet, so if they decide to help today she can undergo the recommended procedure. From what I've learned from "those who know or professionals in the field", the type of spay she originally went threw may be the culprit. If not, a full hysterectomy might be in order now. We will wait till later this AM for a decision, and I will post here. As for the amount, I haven't a clue to that or how I will pay but Ginger's well being is primary right now. Again, thank you all for your support, input and suggestions.................... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FastDogsOwnMe Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Good luck today... I just now saw this. I will pray for your girl, and that it is not too expensive or dangerous, and that you two will move on happily from here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alannamac Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 You must be so stressed. Hugs to you and your girl. You're not alone, so many want to help you.

Guest janiek Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Thank you all for your kind words, thoughts & support. I took Ginger in and she was seen, evaluated and going threw surgery later today. After speaking with both Mr. Wolf and the vet, it was explained that the procedure (not a full hysterectomy) but a procedure to hopefully correct this issue with some stitches to help "keep it inside". will be the answer to this as doing a full hysterectomy is quite expensive and is not done at that facility. I did the best I could and consented to this procedure in the hopes that this will be the answer. I will know more later this evening and will post more then.............thank you..

sweetdogs Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Glad you were able to get Ginger seen. But a hysterectomy is a spay & NGAP spays their own adoption dogs so they must have been referring to another -ectomy. You might want to ask them to write down the diagnosis & the procedure they performed so you have it for your records. I hope this gives you & Ginger some relief. Let us know how she's doing.

Guest janiek Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Hello everyone......well, her surgery went well. The vet affirmed that she WAS spayed, and I think he mentioned a mass that he removed and the test results will be back on Friday. He also put 2 stitches in her vulva lips as a temporary precaution. I don't know the full story, because the vet left and I spoke with him on his cell as he left work. So, I'll get the entire story tomorrow when I take her in for a follow up. She is still a bit groggy, but finally is laying down with her favorite toy......sigh. Thank you all for everything you did for us here.
