Persimmons are getting ripe here. Dogs have been eating them green for the last couple months. One appears addicted to eating green ones. I have been harvesting some ripe fruit and giving one to each penned game as I walk by. They are very partial to the fruit eating seeds and all.

Tuesday I got blindsided by an illness in dogs I've never heard before called closed pyometra. She didn't seem herself for a few days just not spunky but not I'll (I thought). Went to the vet they took x-rays sent us to an animal hospital for an untrasound and was informed shortly after (10mins) emergency surgery was needed right now or she was going to die. Wasn't expecting that. So she went to surgery, stayed for observation till Friday and I been dog sitting. On 3 medicines no getting up on furniture. No nothing really. She is stitched and stapled shut has a cone on. Cold compress 3times a day medicine twice a day.
oh and a fentynyl patch.
Been a long week lol

Wow! That's crazy, glad you thought it was necessary to get her looked at. That could've been bad, how long is the recovery time?

That sucks. I had to get my hound mix spayed years ago because of it too. I believe it only affects in tact females but I could be wrong.

she's supposed to get the Staples removed in 2 weeks and supposedly the cone comes off too. Her uterus was so filled with infected fluid she was distented and in the xray you could see her intestines were pushed up by her ribs (why she was distented). They said when it ruptures (any moment) she would go septic and it'll be fatal shortly after.
