Never, Never Doubt!
Submitted by: Kae
North Carolina, USAI have German Shepherd dogs that I play hard with when I'm not working hard.
Dolce, my long-haired German Shepherd dog refused to eat her breakfast, a first for her. She was listless so I took her to the veterinarian and we were immediately referred to a specialty vet for a ruptured gall bladder. This is a very serious condition and I could see that on the face of my vet. When I put my foot on the threshold of the doorstep into the specialty clinic, I said to Dolce, “You’re walking out of here under your own power”, and I handed her off to the specialty vet. They examined her and said the surgery was going to be very difficult on her. I said go ahead and again I said “You’re walking out of here under your own power.”.
Long story short, I never, never doubted she would walk out of there and three days later, she did. It was tough, no doubt, but she made it. The specialty vet said she beat all the odds. I said she just made the odds better for all the dogs that come after her. She’s home now and I’m happy to have her back.
