Calista was spayed last week and is recovering well. It was a very good thing that she had the surgery when she did. As if the poor dog didn't have enough issues, she also had a very icky uterus. According to the doctor, it was close to becoming a pyometra (which is basically an infected uterus). This condition is rarely diagnosed until it is showing symptoms at which point it is extremely serious. It can certainly be fatal if not treated immediately with an emergency hysterectomy. Finally, a lucky break for Callie!
More good news! I found out today that there has been another application put in for her adoption! I have not spoken to the lady myself yet, but she is aware of Callie's hip problem and the heart murmur and is fine with both issues. I am hoping to set up a meet and greet and then hopefully a home trial as soon as her incision is completely healed.
I am so praying that this is Calista's forever home! Lately there are so many dogs listed as "urgent" meaning that they are on death row. If Callie moves on, although I will miss her like crazy, it will open up our home to a dog that might otherwise live it's last hours in a crowded shelter.
