Madonna has surgery

Today Madonna had her surgery. She had continued to have greenish pus coming from her vulva and she had a multitude of times we treated her for a UTI. Surgery was performed to explore the abdomen. There was a cystic pocket of fluid that was closely adhered to her urethra. This was an extremely uncommon finding in a dog. She may have been born with this or after trauma from delivering her puppies. The fluid was cultured and it was consistent with being a cyst which had gotten intermittently infected. It was very far back in the pelvis and to remove the total cyst would entail breaking her pelvis. After much discussion this was not done. The doctors elected to open the cyst, cleaned, flushed it and what is called omentum was performed. She came thru the surgery with "flying colors" and is now happily recovering at home.
