The Second Major Surgery of Her Short Life...

After a phone call from Dr. B, Maggie had the second major surgery of her short life.

Dr. B performed bladder surgery (with a Dr. Gregory assisting). Dr. G is a world recognized expert in the field of canine urinary surgery treatment. Dr. G, a professor at UC Davis, came out of the surgery scratching his head ... "he had never seen anything like it." Maggie's bladder was a mess .. it was scarred, malformed, infected, and even the inner lining of her bladder was dead (tissue was dead.) Maggie had a massive infection that has attacked her bladder.

During surgery, they took cultures to try to identify the critter(s) responsible for the condition. Maggie was put on a "cocktail" of antibiotics, the truth be known, the best vets in the world were firing blind. They were simply trying to kill anything and everything they could ...

I finally realized how sick Maggie is and that she may not make it ... I am so very sad ...
