Gonna Be A Long, Expensive Day


Recommended Posts

Kili is back to see her specialist. Recheck ultrasound looks much better but now we feel more confident about a possible ectopic ureter, which is a ureter that doesn't open in the right place. So she's definitely going to have a scope today and since her vulvar conformation isn't great we're going to do a quick nip tuck. Just in case it is contributing to her problems. If the scope shows an ectopic she's going right to surgery.

 

On top of that her heart murmur hasn't resolved and since she's now over 6 months it's a little concerning. So now we're waiting for cardiology. The heart is my main concern now. I got her 110% for agility and if she has a problem that precludes that then I'm in big trouble. :(

 

Wish us luck.

Cardiac ultrasound was okay. Mild mitral valve dysplasia. Cardiologist told me to listen to her extra carefully every year. Anesthesia no concerns for today. Agility okay.

Excellent news, when you consider what the outcome could have been. I assume "anesthesia no concerns" means surgery's no longer necessary?

No, sorry, it means the cardiologist isn't worried about her not being able to handle the anesthesia today or bad things happening. We're waiting for her scope now and that'll determine if we go to surgery.

:yay Good news! Kristie, if this one can't do agility, you could always add ANOTHER puppy! I'm sure Summit would love that. :lol

Ha ha. Never. Over my dead body. Lol. As much as I love Kili and as good a puppy as she is... there will not be another puppy for a long, long time!

So scope showed a persistent hymen. That was broken down and suspect ectopic ureter. They are prepping her for her nip tuck and then she is having surgery to check out the ureter situation. Which is a nightmare because if there really is an ectopic they need to keep her for 2 days to keep an eye on her urine output abilities and reultrasound. I have no idea how I'm going to come back and get her in the middle of the week with work since the specialist is 2 hours away (not like I can just pop by on my lunch break). So I'm hoping it turns out to be nothing.

Yay! Just popped into surgery so her surgeon could show me what she's seeing, which fortunately appears to be nothing. She thinks the tunneling they were seeing is part of her persistent hymen. So looks like she's coming home tonight and hopefully will be cured.

Having been diagnosed with a "persistent hymen", it sounds to me like Kili's determined to keep her virginity, lol! All kidding aside, I'm relieved for you. Great news!

Good news on the heart murmur and the ureter. I hope she's soon on her way home and quickly feels 100%. And that this is the end of her health troubles for a long long long time.

Lol, well too bad for her, it was definitely forcibly taken from her while she was unconscious (that sounds really horrible... You know what I mean!).

 

And owww! for you. That doesn't sound pleasant!
