Freckles is at the vet =)

[luckies4me]

We had to reschedule our appointment for yesterday. I took her in yesterday at 2 for her exam and she stayed the night. I called this morning and they had just given her the injection, so she is sedated and was the first scheduled. So she is most likely undergoing surgery right now. =) I hope she does well. It cost me around $300 dollars for this! :eek: I took some pictures of her at the vet. I'll update more once I call the clinic to see how the surgery went.

Her vet giving her a head scratchie. =)

Waiting anxiously for an update, Cass! I'm sure Freckles is going to do great! What a sweet picture:) Keeping you both in my thoughts and prayers! Sandra

[luckies4me]

Thank you! I can't pick her up for a couple of days. =( I think she'll be fine though.

[bckrazy]

aww Freckles is the sweetest! I love her little face ^_^

omg! $300? is she getting spayed?.. :confused:

[luckies4me]

Yep, she got spayed. I can't believe it cost so much though!

[lv4dogs]

Wow, are you having pre-surgical bloodwork done too or something?
That seems like $100 too much. I can't believe they are keeping her for a few days either. I could see 2 at the max (the day of the spay & the day after) but anything more would worry me.

I'm sure she'll be fine. I don't mean to scare you or be rude. Sorry.

I don't know how $300 equates into £s, but it costs £115 to have a bitch spayed where I work and they have the operation in the morning and then released home later that day!!

Yes, blood work. Plus pain meds. Well she stayed the night last night, and will again tonight and I can pick her up tomorrow. So she'll be there for 2 and a half days. =( I know it sounds weird. I told them the experience I have working at clinics, and that I am fully capable of taking care of my own dog after her surgery, but they wouldn't buy it. :rolleyes:

This place was actually the cheapest place around here. Most places wanted at least $200 for the spay alone. :eek:

[wolfsoul]

Wow that's expensive. Baby is a huge great dane and she was twice the size of Freckles when she was spayed. Her spay cost $260 and she was free to go the same day.

Sending many get well wishes to Freckles that
her operation goes well.

[luckies4me]

I'm going to give them a call right now. I'll update in a few. =)

[shutterbug0303]

Hope Freckles is recouping well and feeling 100%! :D

[luckies4me]

Well I didn't get ahold of the clinic yesterday. They called me right now though and said she really really wants to come home. So I know she's whining and crying and doesn't want to be there. We're on our way to pick her up. =)

[Dixieland Dancer]

I sure she will be real happy to see her mom! Give her a big {{{HUG}}} and tell her she has lots of Pet Talkers wishing her a speedy recovery!

[countrycowgirl]

aww! I am glad that everything went well and that she will be home soon!:D

[anna_66]

Glad to hear Freckles is fine and raring to come home:D

[bckrazy]

yay! :D I'm glad she is doing well and can come home. Freckles just needs some tlc from her mommy, and lots of spoiling ;)

$300 does seem high... makes me glad I have a boy ^_^, when he got neutered it only cost about $100

[luckies4me]

Well I picked her up yesterday and she was so excited to see me. She couldn't contain her joy LOL. But as soon as she got in the car you could tell she was a little uncomfortable. She seems fine though. She just needs some rest. :)

[lv4dogs]

Glad everything went well!
Sending fast healing thoughts Freckels way!

$300 isn't bad then if you got bloodwork, pin meds & 2 nights of hospitilization. I thought it was just for the spay.
