UPDATE ON RUBY
Ruby underwent multiple surgeries yesterday over a period of 3 hours.
~ Her uterus was on the verge of bursting, her pyometra was that advanced. It would have been fatal, if it had. She had just one horn of the y-shaped uterus, a condition called unihornus.
~ One o***y could not be removed. There was too much fat which made access near impossible.
~ What was thought to be a tumour on the spleen in the ultrasound, was not. Her spleen is bifurcated, making it look like there was a growth there.
~ She does not have one kidney. This explains her renal parameters being out of whack. One organ is doing the work of two, on a body that is extremely overweight.
~ The growth on the top of her head was removed.
~ Her cherry eye was fixed as best as possible, as it has been there unattended for a very long time.
~ Dental scaling was done right at the end, as best as possible as it was important to reverse the anaesthesia. She had been under for way too long.
She isn’t eating yet, so she’s on a drip. She’s sleeping well, rest is crucial for her. She will remain as an in patient at for the next few days so that they can monitor her condition & multiple surgery sites. Huge shoutout to Dr. Ashwin for his exemplary surgery skills & to who always goes over and beyond for any of our dogs admitted here.
Ruby is a case of abject neglect, irresponsible pet guardianship and not to forget, irresponsible breeding. We are constantly left to clean up the mess, while dogs continue to suffer.

If you’re in Bangalore & can foster Ruby for a few weeks post her discharge from the hospital, please WhatsApp +91 97402 05576. She’s very easy to care for. She wants far too little to be far too content.
Thank you for your support.
