Aliana Baton – huge hernia and pyometria
With all the overwhelming load of dogs we have, of course, we get yet another email about a few breeder dogs that need somewhere to go. An independent rescuer in Baton Rouge, LA, took several little dogs from a local breeder (one breeding “toys” and “imperial shih tzu,” etc so obviously one of the worst kind). Four of the little females were in HORRIBLE shape. She took them to the vet for basic shots and a quick exam. I must say the vet’s notes were amazing. “terribly emaciated,” “3-4 pounds underweight,” “punctured eye,” etc.
Cute little Aliana had a HUGE hernia on her belly and if there’s one thing our vet worries about, it’s large hernias in puppymill survivors. So she went to see him immedidately after arriving.
Lucky thing she did, too. When he went in to fix the hernia and spay her, he found that she had a huge pyometria. He said her uterus looked like a yellow hot dog – completely full of pus.
She also had a punctured eye that he removed while she was under.
Her total bill was just over $450.
