Its a sad day at White Diamond Terriers today... Our primary Norwich Terrier AKC conformation Champion Shonleh Kill Deer better known as Pepper has contracted Pyometra http://www.thepetcenter.com/sur/pyo.html Pepper's illness was suspected early due to prior experience witth this issue. She had been a little listless and had a loss of appetite but the clincher was her 104 degree temperature which made me very suspicious. I took her into the Emergency Vet clinic last night and after an initial blood panel and x-ray it was not apparent what was wrong with her. She stayed the night with IV fluids and medication then I brought her into my vet Dr. Benson at Desert Vet Clinic in Richland Washington first thing this morning. After his initial exam to include a second set of x-rays and blood panels he decided to do exploratory surgery and discovered her diagnosis...Pyometra. She was spayed earlier this afternoon and is recovering nicely... Pepper will now join my other retired girls waiting for a perfect retirement home where she can live out the rest of her life on the couch in front of the TV. Your thoughts and best wishes are always appreciated.
