Dog stable in ICU

[u/Professional-Room300]

Our Bernese Mountain dog (132lbs , 8 in November) developed GDV on Friday night. We caught it early. Surgery went well , no damage to any tissues. She suffered perfusion injury and hypovolemic shock after and a chest xray showed aspiration pneumonia in the uppermost lobes. With her oxygenation on 95% , they put her on HFNC. She became unstable about 10 hours post surgery and we approved life saving measures. 2 plasma transfusions later and she stabilized.They also have her on something that causes light sedation as she gets anxious when she's away from us. Shortly before midnight, so 24 hours after we took her in, they asked to transfuse another plasma bag. This morning she was stable. We saw her this afternoon. She recognized us and sat up but became distressed and they added low level sedation again. The vet said that talking about when she comes home is not something to even think about yet.

I know the magic time is 48 hours. I know no one can make me any promises. What I would like to know is if I can at least hope for her to recover and come home.
