They are now sleeping soundly at the shelter and about to be operated on. I stayed with them until they went to sleep.

The bad news: Abigail has a heart murmer and the vet is cocerned about her reaction to the anesthesia. I knew I had a reason to worry about her!!! I will have to watch her closely for the next few days to make sure she doesn't have any labored breathing. I will also be bringing home some liguid Ace to help keep her calm and minimize pain.
She also said to keep an eye on Rosco because Cardio Myopathy (sp) can be genetic. I'm going to go look this up but if someone out there knows anything about this would you fill me in please? Is it one of those things that sounds worse than it is?

Jan, they are somewhere between 7 and 8 months old. I held off doing this because of Abigail. I should have taken Rosco but I waited. She showed her first signs of heat last weekend so she was a little slow.

Now I'm even more worried!!!
