Not too sure why I'm writing this, but it's late, and not really had a chance to speak to anyone.
Tia - 5 Year Old Shar-Pei, has randomly in the space of an hour contracted a problem called 'Bloating' - Basically fluid is where it shouldn't be, and the Stomach is potentially twisted.
This is a life threatening illness.
Been perfectly fine up until 7PM - 90mins after her dinner.
She Started reaching to be sick, but nothing came out, she then when to the toilette (2) acting like she didn't even know about it.
Then that's when we started to notice her stomach was swelling up, at 1st I thought she was bloated and gassed up.
By about 10/11pm her stomach was as if a football was in there. She wasn't acting her self, was restless and couldn't lay down for more than 30 seconds.
That's when we took her to the emergency vet.
She is now being treated for shock, pumped fluids out of her I believe, blood test and anti biotics. It will be then when we find out if she needs surgery to re-align the stomach.
Even after the surgery there is a 3 day grace period where there is a high chance for it to happen again, or for her to pass away.
Due to no insurance (long story short we didn't have her from birth, were complications) - This bill could potentially come to £3k - But you could never put a price on someone you love.
It's just that horrible feeling when I got home, to not have her running at the door to see me, or be waiting on my bed with all her teddy' s to get the best spot before I struggled to get in
Again, not too sure why I'm posting this as wasn't looking for answers or anything really, just needed to get it off my chest.
