KitKat's Update

Poor KitKat never got better within the one week on her medicine. Keep in mind that they treated her as having a urinary tract infection and said that one week on the medicine would clear her up. If not better in a week, we needed to bring her back in.

Well, I called and got a second opinion with another vet and they advised to bring her in as soon as possible. She got spayed on emergency basis because she had a severe infection in which her uterus was filling up with pus. The new vet basically told us that they didn't know how the first vet missed it, but she more than likely would not have made it another two weeks alive. She had her surgery on Friday and is doing much better now.

Of course, she got her belly shaved and stitches that we have to keep clean with peroxide, but everything looks good.. even her hoohah. :) Her belly looks flatter, so I call it her tummy tuck.

Overall, we are so thankful that the second time around, these people were really willing to take care of her and that we didn't waste time on making sure that she was okay. We love our KitKat and everyday that we have her with us.. and she loves her new tummy tuck. :)
