LOLA HAS HER MUCH NEEDED SURGERIES





Poor Lola. This girl is one tough nut to crack. She had her surgeries on Dec 13th with some complications. Lola's left eye has been so neglected that it was no longer useful to her and it needed to be removed and was causingher a great deal of pain.

The eye surgery is a complex surgery because there are a lot of blood vessels in the eye and the eye socket, she lost some blood but it is pretty common for this type of surgery and she pulled through like a champ. When the Dr's opened Lola for her spay they were amazed to see the size of her uterus, it was the size of a softball and covered in cyst's and they knew they had to work fast as this complicated the spay and Lola lost a lot of blood plus she had been under the max time of 3 hrs and 45 min. While Lola pulled through both of her surgeries she needed to be monitored through the night and was transported to the ER vet clinic where she was watched all night long. Lola was a walking time bomb because her uterus could have ruptured at any given moment costing her her life as she would have just bled out.

Having that size of utereus was also extremely painful for poor Lola. I picked up Lola this morning and she was so much better, I brought her home where she is currently resting comfortably. I can tell you that Lola does not miss her eye and is adjusting just fine to only having one eye. I dont even think Lola knows she has been spayed because she already feels so much better and was trying to chase a ball around and just wanted to play (was the pain killers talking) Due to time restraints the Dr's were unable to pull a few of her rotten teeth so when she is feeling better and has recovered she will still need to have that done and I will also be getting her teeth cleaned for her as she deserves to have pretty chompers. I can not imagine the pain that this poor girl has endured and know that she is well on her way to a happy, healthy and pain free life.

Please stay tuned for more updates on Lola and her journey back to health.
