Dinah:
Did they diagnose her with Pyometra?
If so......that's gonna be VERY hard for an elderly dog to survive regardless.
I've worked for vets for 14yrs....I understand exactley where you're coming from on your viewpoint.

I was only told that it was some sort of infection and the vet said that she needed to be spayed. My mother was relaying info to me via phone. I will try to get some more info.
Yes she was diagnosted with Pyometra.
Yeah that is ROUGH. A spay does need to be done when that happens, but the prognosis is horrible for such an old dog! I can't believe they are even going to put her under anesthesia at her age! I hope they use the appropriate pre-anesthetic meds!!!
I sure hope so too. While I think that putting the poor old dog.through all of this is wrong I hope that she makes it since they did. Thank you for your insight on this matter.
