my baby oreo

It was indeed a surprise when a bad news turned out to be a good one on 22 August. Thinking that she fell sick, we brought Oreo to the clinic. The vet suspected that it was cancer, and may have to put her to sleep. After the x-ray, it was confirmed that she was pregnant instead. We were looking forward to the birth of Oreo's little baby. The day never arrive. Today I brought her to the vet again, x-ray showed that the baby is starting to decompose in her womb. Decision I have to make: should I let her undergo a surgery to remove the womb? If I do - small animals as exposed to a higher risk of dying due to the anaesthetic for surgery.  If I don't - her womb might rot and she will die. But if I don't, there are chances whereby the baby might just harden after some time and her womb stays unaffected.

I recalled the day when Niu Niu died. She was down with flu, refused to eat or drink, causing her to be dehydrated. Brought her to the clinic, doctor suggested to give her a jab for her dehydration. She was fine then, except looking a little weak, but I agreed anyway. She was screaming. My heart was tearing. It was a totally wrong decision made. She died later in the evening. I suspected that it was due to stress caused by the jab. I caused her death. :'(

Oreo has been a great companion for the past 3.5 yrs - rain or shine. I love her. I really can't afford to lose her. I do not want Oreo to go through the same fate, I'll decide not to let her go through the surgery. Praying for her, dear Lord, Please bless Oreo... 

Healing and transforming God,
your love knows no boundaries, and in your sight every life is precious;
look with compassion on Oreo, and make us your agents of healing in a broken world.
Amen.
