Urgent Prayer Request! UPDATE!!!!

 Two weeks ago I took Little Hippy our Jack Russell into the Vet because she was acting funny. They determined she had a bad urinary tract infection and put her on an antibiotic. After 2 days on the Rx she was almost back to normal and by the time she finished it, she was doing great. Well Monday morning she was acting strange again so DH took her in this morning and they discovered a mass in her abdomen. He called me and told me they were taking her in for emergency surgery. I drove to the Vet so I could see her before they take her in. They are thinking it is one of two things, an infection in her uterus or cancer. If it's cancer and bad, she probably won't come out of the surgery. I am so scared and heartbroken.  She is the sweetest little thing. If you could say a little prayer for her (and us). 

UPDATE! Little Hippy just came out of surgery and is doing really well. They removed her uterus which was full of infection but NO Cancer!!!!! However, they also removed one of her mammary glands and are sending it off to pathology. It will take 3-5 days to get the results back. Thank you for all your prayers! They will keep her overnight and I can bring her home sometime tomorrow. In case you are wondering why she was never spayed, well... she has a really good blood line and we were going to breed her. Before we could find a suitable male, she was injured chasing a squirrel and was paralyzed. She had surgery on her spine and 6 months later she was walking again but we realized we could never breed her. We wanted to give her time to recover and heal before we put her under the knife again and we just kept putting it off.

  14. I just got to this post about your sweet little dog. I'm so glad the surgery went okay and you will find out about the other test soon. We had a Weim once we didn't spay and a similar thing happened to her, that was years ago now.
