Katie is getting spayed

Hello All

Well, tomorrow is the day. Katie will be getting spayed. I must admit I am a bit nervous about it. I don't want any thing bad to happen to her and I hate putting her through an operation. I know it is routine and everything will be ok...but I can't help but worry. I think I am reflecting on my recent surgeries and I don't want to cause her any pain like that. Its silly, I know. Hubby will be taking her early in the morning and we will be picking her up later in the afternoon. I'll let you all know when she gets home safely.

Robin :)

i will keep Katie in my thoughts for tomorrow and im sure everything will be fine.

Goodluck dear Katie *hugs*

I felt the same way when I took Samantha in for her spaying. I had the vet tech call me as soon as she was out of surgery and again when she started to wake up. When we went to get her that evening, Samantha ran to Josh and I. The vet gave us pain pills to give her once we got home. In the car ride, she was fine. But those pain pills... LOL! They made her ZONE. She would be walking around and just stop and stare. She'd be going to get off the couch and stop halfway through (so that her front paws were on the floor and her back paws were on the sofa) and stop and stare. Poor thing... The next morning (I took off the following day so that I could help her get around since I was sure she'd be horribly sore), she woke me up by pouncing on my bed. She was fine! She started ripping outside and going up and down stairs (the vet said to keep her quiet for 10 days - HA!). I gave her one more pain pill that night to calm her down and zonk her out, but after that... she was as good as new... better, actually 'cause now she doesn't have to worry about having puppies out of wedlock!! ;)

Katie will be fine. We'll all be thinking of her and keeping her in our prayers, but I promise you... she'll be just fine. :)

Just think, Robin, you will get to play "nurse" for Katie for a few days, then there will be no holding her back! It is always amazing to me how quickly they bounce back, when it takes us humans weeks to do heal!!!

Good luck tomorrow, and I'll be keeping both you and Katie in my prayers!!! :)

Senior Sheba says, not to lick your stitches or run around
for the first few days. :)

Momma Robin. We don't blame you for worrying one bit! They're our "kids"after all! Just hang in there...before long it'll all be over and you'll be getting the "resting comfortably" call! We'll be keeping you and sweet Katie in our thoughts and prayers!:) Love and hugs and tail wags to you cutie Katie!! Sandra, Cody and Star


Samantha...sweet, sweet story....awww!:)

Roxey & Huney just wanted to know if their friend will be well enough to go to the park next weekend? They sure hope so, they would miss her:D

My thoughts are with you today Katie, and you Robin. It's so nerve wracking to think about, just because we can't be there!!
Jada just went through it 2 weeks ago--she had a little bit of a rough time, but she was fine once we had her home--I think she was just afraid we had left her there:(
I can't wait to hear about Katie when she is done--my vet always tells me they will be lethargic for a few days--3 dogs later, I have yet to see it!!!!

Add me to the list of anxious Aunties and Uncles!! Check in when you can Robin!!:)

My other dog, Angie, was the biggest baby hands down and she went through her spaying like a champ. It's amazing how well they do. On the other hand Sylvia has to go soon and I'm worried about her too. I totally sympathize. Don't worry Katie will be fine. :)

Rocky wants to know how his girlfriend is doing. :)

Well, things did not go to well. I guess the surgery went fine but when hubby picked her up she was in the back seat and we are not for sure what happened but he said she let out a yelp and he looked and thinks maybe she might have been messing with her incision...then she let out a great big yelp and he said she started to panic and jumped over the front seat. I guess she was really bleeding and it was a huge mess..some blood in the back and my front seat was completely covered. He hurried up and took her back. I guess she was fine after she calmed down and snuggled up with hubby on the front seat. He picked her up to take her back in the office and put her down and she seemed just fine and was walking. I guess she ruptured something, but everything is fine and the vet had her stay the night so he could keep an eye on her and I can pick her up in the morning. I knew something was going to happen. I felt it from when I first made the appt. I wish I could have went with hubby when he picked her up but I was not feeling well and had went to bed and he didn't want to bother me. I'm upset....but I'm sure it will all be alright. One of the vet employees even went out to help hubby clean up the car and then he took the steam cleaner to it when he got home. The blood all came out ok. I wasn't too worried about that though. Just want my pup to be ok.

Anna and Phred....I wasn't even thinking. I would have never made the appt. so close to the dog park meeting if I was. I'm hoping things go well and we can still make it.

Thanks to all of you for your well wishes. Keep us in your thoughts. This has been an awful day. I hated walking into the house and Katie was not there.

Thanks....Robin

Sorry to hear that happened Robin:( But I'm glad that everything was just fine when your hubby took her back to the vets. I'm sure she'll be doing much better tomorrow.
And I sure hope she's all healed up by the 19th!!
xxxKISSESxxx for Katie!
