We have a 2.5 year old husky/malamute mix. Last week Thursday, she became extremely lethargic and painful in her abdomen. We took her to the emergency vet in Corpus, whom did x-rays and other tests. Ultimately, they diagnosed her with pyometra; a uterine infection, which fills the uterus with pus, until it finally ruptures, filling her abdominal cavity with infectious pus. This is a deadly infection that can kill both spayed, and un-spayed female dogs (depending on the vet that performs the spay). They quoted us $3,000+ to perform the surgery, her life depended on it. It had to be one of the most difficult decisions I've ever made. We chanced it, and prayed that Floerke would be the solution. The following morning, they took our Husky in, and performed the uterus removal surgery that afternoon. We are coming up on day 5 post-surgery. There are plenty of hurdles that could still affect the outcome of our healing dog. But I'm so thankful for Floerke. Our girl is completely normal again, she has a huge appetite, and is so spunky. She's gaining weight, and looks much more healthy. Her digestive system is functioning normally, and she's healing very quickly. She's been kept in a nice, big kennel and will be resting there until she gets through this and heals properly. She's been on antibiotics and pain meds. For that, I'm so grateful for Floerke. They were a godsend, reasonable, and realistic. The doctor is realistic, and is up front about complications we can expect with this. The incision is very clean, and never swelled, or turned red. I'm happy to have been given even 5 more days with our pup, and I pray for more, and more to come. After losing a dog in the past to a messy spay performed by a vet in Rockport, I was afraid to spay Chunk and I also had hopes to breed her one day, maybe have even more huskies. In reality, not spaying her, placed her life at risk. Take your dog to these folks, before anyone else. They are great people, who care about the wellbeing of these animals. Pets are a blessing and having a proper vet to aid you in their health is important. I'm grateful for Floerke.Read Less
