My girl Zola is my eldest Neapolitan Mastiff and my most precious little girl, she is 10 yrs old, a very good age for this breed, and I cannot imagine life without her. I thought I was going to lose Zola a few months ago, when Pyometra struck, she has very low blood platelets, so I didn't want to risk having her spayed, ( although I know Pyometra is a risk in older females ) but the decision was taken out of my hands, I knew from her symptoms she had Pyo, I took her straight to my Vet who confirmed it, there was no question and my Vet wanted to perform the op straight away, I spent the next 4 hrs in hell not knowing whether I would see my Zola again, I trusted my Vet, he is aware of her history and of the breed in general, he promised me he would make sure she was tied off tightly, but her age was against her, and it would be getting through the next few days following the operation, and Zola's will to live. Well, she pulled through with flying colours, and has gone from strength to strength following her op, until yesterday!!!  I noticed Zola was reluctant to get up, I had to coax her to go outside, she seemed disorienated and unsteady on her feet, her temperature was normal, she had no upset stomach, no injury, she hadn't eaten anything poisonous, it was as if she was unsure of where she was, she went to lie down under the laurel trees and no amount of coaxing would get her to come out, when she finally did emerge, she wouldn't eat anything but drank some water, then came indoors to lie in her bed, every now and again she would tremble too, after a few hours she was back to herself, and today she seems very lethargic, she ate her breakfast, and hasn't behaved in the way she had yesterday, but, she has a worried expression on her face, so I'm taking her to the Vet tomorrow, there is obviously something wrong as she has never behaved in this way before, my stomach is in knotts thinking the worst senario, at this age as well, I am dreading what the Vet might say, I just have to try and remain posative for now as Zola is highly sensative to my feelings and will instantly pick up any negativaty from me.

I will keep an update on her progress and Vet report tomorrow.
