[Gpdd] [Stones] {health}: herbie in hospital

[bunsnpigs at aol.com]

Shweta,?the vet could do the surgery and if she doesn't do well during the surgery or she has so much scar tissue from the stones that she will be in continued pain, she could put her to sleep right then and there while she is under anesthesia and not wake her up, avoiding any further suffering for poor Herbie. If Herbie does make it through the surgery, you and the vet can monitor her?recover afterwards to see how she does.

Notwithstanding Herbie's age, if?her physical condition has deteriorated so much that she can not tolerate the surgery, the vet can make that assessment as well and the kindest thing for Herbie is to put her to sleep. I am so sorry.

Boy, has it been a lllllllllllllllllllllooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng day!

catching up to all the responses... so nice and supportive.? we truly feel we are not alone iwht your precious words of support, encouragement, advice.? thank you.

birdie- condolensces re: spunky's crossing the bridge.....on the other side, s/he much more happier!? so nice.

once again, thank you ALL SO MUCH for your words!

Its been a long day on teh phone and getting herbie to the vet.? her bladder was getting bigger and bigger, thus obstructing the colon, disabling my poor baby to poop.
the vet isnt sure if herbie would be a good candidate for surgery due to her "old" age. 
they will decide tomorrow (thurs morning) after they see how she is doing on antibiotics, fluids, etc to get her system going again...and blood test.

we're praying she will be up for surgery tomorrow so she doesnot have to suffer in this way,? and also, kerbie has her older sister back!? kerbie keeps running around to see where she is...

thank you for all your prayers.? they are working!

until more news tomorrow, poopsies and shweta
