Pyometra Puppies

Timeline: Things have been chaotic! Class, home, work, volunteering, dogs, cat, turtles ohay vay!

We ended up keeping the leukemia kitten we were fostering, still positive.  Man, that boy goes! Run , sleep, and pee.And pees a lot! (which i hear is a common side effect!)

I recently hosted a group of Girl Scout at the Vet Center I work it- it was amazing! Learned about parasites, xrays, poop, pet care and spaying and neutering. When we were explaingn the process to a bunch of 4-5th graders the subject of babies came up....
Girl: " how many times a year can they have babies?"
Tech: " When ever they .... go in heat ( whats that??)... when the get their period, you know what that is right?
Girls: "yeah!"
Tech:" well when they get their "period" they can have babies..."


at that point one girl whispers to another..."thats what that is about!!"

Kids say the darnedest things,I hope that doesn't bring up awkward convos at the dinner table!

Discussion:Recently we had a preggo pup that had a tough pregnancy. In the end , she delivered them, and 5 pug pups are here in the world !The O chose not to listen to our hails and let the pups continue to feed off of mom for too long, in which, caused mastitis- inflammation of the boobies!And then to top her luck started to get pyometra!- Spay ASAP and no more puppies!

 Future: Working on the next Operation Pawprint for Girl Scouts, ordering DH ( dental health) food for the dogs- amazing stuff-cleaning the turtle tanks .... anndd.... Going home next weekend!
