What has our experience been with the Animal Emergency Center? We have used their services many times. One of their big success stories for us was when we used their services on Monday, August 29, 2011. Rose, our Irish Wolfhound dog (pictured above) started crying and whining after dinner. We had no idea what was wrong with her, other than she wanted some attention.
After a while of her complaining, we realized something was really wrong. It was more than just I want your attention now. Her lower abdomen was completed blown-up. She was huge. At the time we thought it was just gas, but as it turned out, we were just lucky enough to have gotten her to Reno in time for help.
Her stomach had turned over (they call it the bloat), and her time with us was just about out. Our choices were to let her die on her own in excruciating pain, put her down, or try the life-saving surgery.
We opted for the live-saving surgery where they would go in and turn her stomach back around. She lost her spleen, and there were complications with her heart, but she was still with us.
The next few days after the surgery were some of the longest days we’ve ever had. Honestly, they didn’t think she would make it because of the complications, but she surprised everyone. On day three after the surgery she just seem to wake up and she looked at us to say “what’s all the fuss about?” after that, she was on her way to a full recovery. Today, Rose is still with us, and she is happier than ever.
