My Shar Pei will be 12 in November, but is the happiest most docile and still very playful dog. People still ask if she’s a puppy.
She had green discharge coming from her vagina and after going to the vets they have said it’s either some kind of infection or Pyometra. Been sent home with antibiotics for a couple of days so if they work it’s the infection and she’s fine but if not it’s pyometra and the only option would be a full ovariohysterectomy. A vet once told us she had emphysema so apparently because of that she can’t have the surgery, however she has never had any breathing problems. Although I know shar peis are prone and she does snore very loudly anyway. As well because of her age the increased risk in surgery is there plus the trauma and recovery etc. Also I don’t know how we’d afford the £2k surgery. The only other option would be putting her to sleep.
I really think it’s pyometra and don’t know what to do. On one hand I would want her to have the surgery but the vet doesn’t seem 100% about it and if it is successful is it worth it to put her through the trauma. She’s had such a happy life with no health problems, so maybe it is her time.
I’m sorry if this is ramble and a bit incoherent I’m just heartbroken. WWYD, go ahead with the surgery or accept that her lovely life needs to come to an end now?
