Jessie's dog is really sick

I haven't looked this up yet, but sincerely hope all goes well!!!! Sounds like something you would not want to risk passing on if you could breed.

How sad for them!
My prayers are with them too. What a rotten thing to have happen.

Awwww poor Belle, my prayers are with her, hope all goes well, and that she recovers soon! It's awful when they are sick, they cant tell us whats going on.

Oh, my goodness, I finally looked this condition up & sincerely hope that they do the surgery very, very soon, and that all goes well. She must be in a lot of pain. Poor girl.

It is very serious - the spaying was done this morning. I haven't heard from Jessie yet, but if anything went wrong, she would have called me right away.

I never heard of this disease, but it seems to be the main reason to spay females.

Since they want to breed, how can this be avoided in anoiher unspayed female?
Tink? Janet? Any advice or info?

They just bought a male Malamute pup so they could breed them.

How sad!
Luckily, I have had no experience with this. I've heard of it... just barely as one of the reasons that they've changed the recommendation of breeding on every heat for a shorter time and then spaying a female rather than the skipping of every other heat. It seems that a heat not followed by pregnancy is the opportunity for this to develop.

There is an alternative treatment of antibiotics and medication to make the female expel the pus like she would pups... but it involves a lengthy hospitalization and is less sure than the surgery. It is usually reserved only for show dogs that are worth MEGA bucks and have little value if spayed.

I hope all goes well!

I've heard pretty much the same as Tink. I do want to read more on this so I'll understand it better. Breeding is a never ending learning process for sure.
