Maggie gets spayed tomorrow

[lizbud]

Well, it's finally time. Her appt. is for 8am Monday morning.
I've never had a female dog before, so this is all new to me.
She'll have a laser surgery, which is supposed to cause less
bleeding & trauma around the wound site. Could you please
spare a few prayers for her tomorrow ?

I think anytime they go under anesthetic, you never know how they will react. That's the scary part.

I will be praying for Maggie. I am sure things will go well, although I can just image how nervous you would be. {{{HUGS}}}

Torbutrol for the first night. Mine had been given Deramaxx, and she was sort of uncomfortable until I gave her 2.5 mg of Torbutrol (weight 69 lbs). That did the trick as she slept soundly the first night after the Torbutrol.

There after on the second day and sometimes into the 3rd they will sleep a lot. The Deramaxx did just fine with the pain from the 2nd day onward. After that they will be ready to bounce off the walls with all of the pent up puppy energy. Then the chore is to keep them from resuming their usual pace for a week. Mine got loose ran around and rolled in a mud puddle (with no ill effects) on the 4th day.

It's remarkable how fast they recover.

[Sudilar]

Prayers on their way! Please let us know how it goes! Good luck, Maggie.

Liz, good, healing thoughts going your way for Maggie's quick recovery.
I always had girls and they recovered from the surgery in no time. It sounds like this new laser procedure should be even better.
Let us know when you can how the darling pup is doing.

How's Maggie doing? Please check in when you can Liz...lots of nervous aunties here

Maggie's home. They said she did well with her surgery.
I brought her home about 2 hours ago & she drank some water
and threw up twice. She is so out of it. She will not lay down,
but keeps sitting up with her head hanging over to her knees.

She looks so pitiful. She's to go back in 2 weeks to get the
stiches removed. Oh, I also took her outside, thinking the reason
she wouldn't settle was a potty break, but she hasn'nt peed
yet. I wish I could get her to lie down. Liz.
