Starting to bounce back.
8.9.2021 -- We are beyond grateful to say that Gilly has started to bounce back from her traumatic ordeal. She is feeling better and better, more like her old self each and every day.
As we write this, Gilly is being rushed into emergency surgery. It's the only way to stop the bleeding, and give her a chance at survival.
Gilly went in for a routine spay surgery today. Her surgery seemed to go well. She was recovering, and even went home. That is, until her foster noticed that she was bleeding--badly. While some blood loss after surgery is within reason, we knew this was too much. Gilly needed help, FAST. We rushed her to the emergency vet, hoping she could hang on long enough for them to figure out how to save her. The veterinary team suspects she is bleeding internally. It's a risk, and there are no guarantees, but surgery is her only hope.
Unfortunately, no surgery--no matter how routine--is without its risks. There is always a chance for complications. And in poor Gilly's case, something did go terribly, terribly wrong.
