Cathy Landry: HELP! SOS! My rescue pit bull (3 years old) just had her ACL operated on this past Thursday. She went to the vets to have her wraps removed yesterday and all looked good. I've had a concern since Friday, though, that she's not eating, drinking a little, and has not urinated outside at all. She does urinate in her sleep (I have her sleeping on a puppy training pad) but she is holding it and not going. I take her out every two hours but nothing. Her leg is swelling and bruised (which they said is normal) but the swelling seems excessive and it is hot to the touch. She's panting like crazy and I am so worried. It was $3k for the surgery and I literally am using change to put gas in my car to go to work tomorrow. I'd take her in to the emergency hospital next to Centinalia (near pch and ximeno) but have no $. Do you know a vet or anyone who can give me some free advice so I don't go out of my head with worry tonight? I haven't slept all weekend-been taking her out every two hours hoping she'll pee...and I can't miss work tomorrow. We had this done Thursday thinking she'd be at least stable by tomorrow, but it is getting worse. I'm a teacher and can't miss tomorrow...grrrr. Any advice would be appreciated.
