It has been a really long and traumatic day for me today. My beautiful baby girl Sasha had to be taken to the vets this morning as I noticed a lump forming on her cheek yesterday afternoon so called to make an appointment. It was a long night with her crying while she slept, and me beside her sobbing my eyes out. By this morning she was much worse and panting and obviously not well. She was put straight into surgery where they found a terrible bone infection that was litterally eating away the bone in her jaw. Possibly festering slowly away from when her jaw got broken years ago. 9 teeth removed later she is now on very strong antibiotics for a few weeks, some medication for life but the infection was caught in time. A day later and it would have been too late. I felt so bad that we didnt know, but the vet herself didnt know until she went in. Turns out the bone we gave her the other day must have damaged a tooth just enough for abscesses to form under the teeth and it litterally saved her life. She is home again now and is stressed when I leave the room, but over all the vet was so pleased with how good her condition is everywhere else. And was touched to see the bond that here and I have. I have to say I dont think I have cried this much in a long time. My poor mum picked up the phone to a distraught me sobbing at the vets when I had to make a big decision. Then her and my sister drove 2 hours to sit with me and make sure I was ok. Hubster called constantly to make sure I was ok. My son cancelled his date yesterday for today because he wanted to be close by if I needed support. My friends. You know who you are, kept a close eye for updates. To all of you I can never thank you enough. This all may sound dramatic, but my girl I fed for weeks with a syringe 5 times a day and night while her jaw was taped up. She was my sons companion when he was very ill. Mine while I recovered from cancer. I spend more time with her, talking and sharing my day than I do with any other living thing on this earth. With the death of a family member this week, I simply couldnt cope with having to say goodbye to the one being I can give all of my love to without overwhelming them. So, that was my day. How was yours?
