Hi everyone,

I am a really sick girl right now. My mom took me to get this "spay" thing done, and eeewwwwwww it really hurts. I had to wait until I was 11 months old because of my bad case of mange. Mange is found in my breed so spaying me so I can't make any more sick sick puppies is the best, but having to wait so long was really bad. I am a big girl now, and the surgery and healing are much "ruff"-er on me. I just wasn't strong enough until now. I probably got mange when I was a puppy because of my unhealthy immune system, and sure enough it struck again after my surgery. I was doing fine from Wed. to Sat., but right after that, I was shaking with a fever, and my surgery site was oozing something yucky! I went to the vets to stay on Monday, and he said my white blood cell count was really high. He gave me some yucky antibiotics and my mom is giving me two tablets two times a day. I'm feeling a good deal better now, so I hope we keep those pills coming. I'm not sure why my vet didn't think to give me antibiotics right after my surgery because of my immune system problem. Oh well, pretty soon I'll be able to run around the back yard with my sisters and life will be good again! In the mean time - I'm so glad my mom rescued me when I was just a bitty thing - I do cause her a lot of $$ outflow and scary times, but I sure do love her and I know she loves me :-)

See you all soon!
