Reading the post again ..seeing she had trouble walking ... provided her heart and lungs are fine - and the vet is good .. I would be getting her speyed asap. IF it is pyo - the exact antibiotic regime is needed to completely knock it ....and it is continually releasing infection into teh body ....

If the bitch does have a yucky discharge ..she may have a open cervix pyometra- low grade? This means AFAIK that the infection is there .. and perhaps because everything was 'open' due to her season ... the muck can drain away .... pyo is nasty. We have had a mature bitch desexed - but she wasn't 11 .... she was fine , but cleaning her vulva a lot .. I looked , saw the muck, and rang the vet . She was speyed immediately.

You are putting in so much - it's good you can see him growing :)

They are interesting oics - and taken from so close :)

They LOVE their night time apple :)

bedtime is supper time ;)

Brian..it is always awful when this happens .... and worrying/wondering can drive us crazy ... SO many things could have happened ..and everyone here may guess differently. I'm not even going to try. At least she was home ... and everything was happening as it normally did around her that night and she knew you were home..
