A Golden Retriever has open pyometra and pants Pt 2

Vaginal discharge, weak pulse and panting. The dog was admitted for surgery but she was panting and hence a very high anaesthetic risk. Hand-fed by the owner 6x/day for the past 7 days but she kept rejecting the food. An IV drip would be given. No operation for at least 2 days. No point operating as a high chance of death would be emotionally devastating to all. 

During her first consuttation 7 days ago, she passed black vaginal discharge. Now, the blood is pinker showing antibiiotics had been effective in killing off the bacteria. However she keeps soiling the floor with more bloody vaginal discharge and was not eating much. So, there must be a decision as when to spay her to resolve her problem.
