A seemingly quiet Monday, did not end up that way.  My dad was seeing some happy visitors, Vocal Vonnie was grumbling on about not getting enough sleep and I was only halfway through cleaning one of Bea's ears when Sugar was rushed in.  Sugar was a 6 month old Standard Poodle puppy, and she was covered in the red syrup and had some of her insides on the outside of her body.  "Help!  Help!" her parents yelled as they carried her in.  "She was spayed on Friday and now everything's coming out!" Sugar's mom shrieked. 
Vocal Vonnie and my mom set about to make the panicked puppy comfortable while Sally asked questions to Sugar's parents.  Mother got out some of the clear liquid goo and some white coverings to protect the parts that belonged on the inside.  Vonnie put a tube in Sugar's arm, amd mother pushed some medicines through the tube until Sugar could barely hold her head up.  Mother then grabbed a bag of fluid and started to rinse off the inside parts, "Looks like it's just fat from her abdomen, thankfully no intestines are stuck out.  I think the blood is from the fat getting cut on the staples. Hopefully she didn't chew on any of this.".
Sally came back shortly with the whole story, "She was spayed at the low-cost place in Fort Myers on Friday and she seemed to be doing ok.  Her parents came home an hour ago to find blood everywhere and Sugar licking her insides.  They've agreed to the surgery to have us repair things"  she quickly added.
So Sugar got more things put in the tube in her leg, then she got a tube in her mouth and was wheeled into the no-awake-dogs-allowed room. Mother had to check everything on the inside but didn't have to remove anything other than the fat. "I can only find one piece of suture from her first surgery.  I wonder if she ate it all.  If so, we're really lucky that's all she ate " I heard mother say as she finished up and put Sugar into the apartment next to mine to recover. 
Then mother left Vonnie to watch over the sleeping poodle and went to discuss the situation with Sugar's parents, "I think Sugar's going to be ok"  she began, "The biggest thing we have to worry about is infection, but I've started her on two different antibiotics. We are going to have to keep a cone on her head to prevent her from disturbing the incision -- no exceptions." she added.
Sugar had to go to the overnight clinic to get more of Auntie's biotics.  "Wow, so much for the low-cost spay" Vonnie commented.  "Cost aside, I feel bad that the little girl had to have two surgeries in 3 days, and now is at risk for peritonitis" mother answered. 
As for me, after watching everything that Sugar went through I'm just glad that I resisted the urge to chew  out my belly strings when I had them.  I guess I'm smarter than I look too!
