This is an absolutely heartbreaking post to write… \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n
As we wrote previously, both Carla and Penny were bred in December and we went for a pregnancy scan Thursday last week. Carla was empty, no puppies to be found in her.<\/p>\n
However, the vet found 3 puppies in Penny \u2013 but unfortunately also found, that her kidneys looked very wrong\u2026 She took out a bloodtest and recommended that we saw a specialist as soon as possible.<\/p>\n
We got the results from the bloodtest on Monday \u2013 and the kidney figures were EXTREMELY high. We saw the specialist on Tuesday, who told us that this was indeed very serious \u2013 Penny only had about 5% of her kidney function left. ☹ However, Penny still looked okay on Tuesday\u2026a little tired, but that could very well just be because of the puppies, and she didn\u2019t seem to be sick from looking at her. But since Tuesday it has been going very fast downhill for her every day \u2013 since yesterday morning she hasn\u2019t eaten anything, and last night she seemed actually apathetic…she just laid in her bed, wouldn\u2019t get up, wouldn\u2019t go outside, didn’t really respond to anything…<\/p>\n
This morning we went to the specialist again, who took new bloodtests, urine sample and scanned Penny. The kidney figures on the bloodtest turned out to be significantly worse than on Tuesday, and according to the vet, Penny wouldn\u2019t make it through the weekend unless we hospitalized her, ran fluids through her body and medicated her heavily. And even so, her prospects for the future wouldn\u2019t be good, as her kidneys were absolutely ruined. Based on the explosive development of Penny\u2019s condition, the specialist believes that it is most likely cancer in her kidneys.<\/p>\n
Therefore \u2013 this afternoon we had to make the very hard decision to put Penny to sleep along with the 3 puppies inside her\u2026 It is SO unbelievably sad and tragic, we loved her dearly\u2026. Right now we are still in chok\u2026 :o(<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
