Blood in Ellie's Urine

ANd I found this:

"If you suspect your new puppy has a RV there are holistic ways of preventing infection. It is also very important that this pup is not spayed until she has her first heat cycle because most times the vulva will correct itself as a result of that heat cycle. If you spay prior to the first heat you could be subjecting the pup to a lifetime of infections. Be sure and ask your vet if they have ever dealt with this as there are vets who have never seen a case and would not know what they are looking at. If that is the case please seek out another vet so you are not advised to spay your pup prior to first heat."

I SWEAR I AM GOING TO SUE THAT SPAY AND NEUTER CLINIC!!

OMG, I'm just seeing this thread. Poor little Ellie and poor you! I would want to sue that darn clinic too. I can't believe this. Please keep us posted about how Ellie is doing, and you too. I'd be frantic!
 
The photo looks exactly like Ellie before that "button" disappeared and now looks just like a slit in her skin. Hopefully our forum vet can chime in!

I just am so amazed that either her breeder or the spay and neuter clinic or our own vet never mentioned it. I love our vet and trust him and he has saved Ellie's life and Ellie adores him still, so I think in his case, he just assumed I knew by looking at it. Duh me!

The breeder I am sure, didn't want to point out the defect. I love Ellie to death, but she has cost us more in two and a half years than the other two Shelties I had spanning both their lifetimes. She didn't "cook" right.
 
The pic is exactly what Gypsy looks like. My vet did tell me about it. My neighbor spayed Gypsy at 19 weeks which I thought was way to soon but she wasn't my dog at the time. :confused2:

That post surgery pic turned my stomach:eek2:.
 
the things I learn here!
never having had a female dog, I wouldn't know what the 'right' vulva looks like :P

I am so sorry Ellie needs surgery :( poor baby.

the free dogs always seem to turn out to be the most expensive.
a friend's family has a $7000 free weimeraner (2 ACL surgeries)

I don't know what Ellie's total is up to now, but the breeder should have offered me a discount. I can see the ad now:

"Drastically reduced: Runt of the litter, not completely cooked right. Will be plagued with the weirdest health problems imaginable. Make your vet happy by providing him or her with an endless supply of expensive procedures and surgeries. If you don't know what to do with your extra hard-earned cash, this is the puppy for YOU!"
 
You have had more than your share with poor Ellie! But look at it this way: you most likely saved her life. If she didn't have an owner like you, odds are she wouldn't have made it. This is what someone told me about my medically challenged Pixie, who after four rough years is now going to be 6 and in great health.

I know it's a struggle but she knows what you do for her and will love you forever! :yes: Sending good wishes that this is Ellie's last issue!!
 
So sorry that Ellie (and you) have yet another obstacle to endure. I hope all goes well and that she will be on the road to recovery soon. She is blessed to have such a wonderful owner!
 
Poor little Ellie, I'm surprised she isnt petrified of the vet, she has been through so much.

The picutre confused me a bit - it looks like all the dog vulva's I've seen (Tully and her girlfriends have a habit of rolling on their back and showing their privates so I've seen a few). Its meant to stick out - is it to do with the amount it sticks out?

I know how you feel with having a dog that wasnt 'completely cooked right'. That's how I sometimes feel about Mr D, I wonder if maybe there was a good reason why the rest of the litter died in utero. Not that I would give him up for the world, but its tough watching them in pain.
 
I am so sorry to hear of this, but have to echo what others have said. Ellie Indeed is fortunate to have been placed with the two of you. Give that little girl an extra hug.
 
Thank you all so much for your kind words for Richard and I as owners. She's our baby, what can I say. Whatever it takes.
