PoorPii

This week we noticed something weird with Pii and went to vet with her. She has a weird lump filled with blood. 

That's why we needed to take Pii to North Finland Animal Hospital. Again I wondered why it is called "North Finland" if I need to drive 1½ hours to south to get there...

It is a long way to drive actually approx. 115 km to get help when your love one is at poor state. Dear Pii had her 1st vaccination and after few days she got very dramatic reaction because of it. By then (June 2020) we first went to local municipal vet and get help there and they set us ready for the long drive. Young Lady sat on the back seat and took care of the poor little puppy while I was driving. 

But we made it and got there just in time, just when she started to go to the final end. It all looked like in a dramatic film and it was my 1st experience of animal hospitals (this was new by then around here). We got ER care and Pii stayed over the night. By then we didn't know yet will she survive. But you know she did. She has also received all her other vaccinations but with a bit different ingredients. It is important to vaccinate humans and animals even sometimes you may get the reaction. Since that she has not got any reaction of vaccinations or medications.

This time 6 hours was enough. It means we spent 9 hours on the journey. She needed surgery and medications. We could have get her out a bit earlier but just when it was the time she had managed to get off the collar and scratch the wound at the clinic when they was getting her ready to go. So they needed to fix that.

Poor Pii has got grey hair in one night. She needs to wear that plastic post surgery collar for fortnight. I won't take it off to make her to get used to it because there is no other way at this time except to wear it. We take it off only to clean the wound. We still don't know what it is and why there was blood. (No inflammation.) We get more results on the next week.

Nuka knows all about it so she just feels sorry for Pii and lets her be. On the photo you can see the damages in Nuka's throat and chest area because of the dog attack she faced in February 2019. The white fur in her throat is growing from the loose skin. The attack and bite caused the fact all the skin loosed from the muscles around her neck, throat and chest area. It took a long time to get it mostly attached back.
