My cousin's Havanese Bella, is two weeks older then Tini, and was taken in to get fixed last Friday. She also had an impelical hernia, which was also going to be worked on while she was out. Well Friday night my cousin picked her up and noticed she was a little agitated... she didn't sleep well on Friday night either, but by Saturday morning she seemed to be feeling better.
:excl: gets a little graphic :excl:
Well on the way home from church with her two older kids, he husband called her hystarical. It seems Bella's incision opened and her *GULP* intestines were falling out. They called their vet who was being no help and finally got the number to another emergancy hospital and took her in. They had to go in and do another surgery and make sure everything internally was okay.
I just got off the phone with her and she is on her way to pick her up right now.
What both vets have said is that this is by no means common, but it does happen. The stiches just came loose, with no fault to the dog.
I don't really have a point to this story except to be careful and monitor your dog when they get fixed. If you don't think they are acting right don't hesitate to call!!!!!
