Violet gave us quite a scare. She had been going outside to pee often, and then we noticed she was straining. At first we thought it was a simple UTI, but it turned out to be more serious and she needed an emergency hysterectomy. Off she went to the emergency vet for an overnight stay.
We picked her up early the next day, cone of shame and all. She despised it, of course, so we tried the softer one we had from when Abby needed it. She hated that too. In the end I found her the sweetest little pajama outfit that kept her covered and much more comfortable.
The other dogs seemed to sense she needed extra care and were so protective of her. We are just glad she is home, safe, and starting to feel better.
