Jamie's Spay Day - Thoughts and Prayers for a nervous mom!!

[MoonandBean]

awwww Jamie...I just sent you a bone on your dogster page as a good luck token You will be fine! And your Mom will be fine too Rent a good movie or do whatever you can do to distract yourself for a few hours...don't let that anxiety creep into your head...If I sound like I know what I'm talking about, it's because I'm already having anxiety about Sunny getting spayed in 6 months

Hehe personally I'm just glad its getting done and over with; the in-laws are paying for it because hubby is putting in OT with them at work so it all evens out. I'll have school to keep me occupied tomorrow, I hope so anyway; I do have a big test over the blood flow tomorrow so I'll just study, study, study and by the time I take the test she should be done!

Thanks everyone!! As you said, impossible not to worry... but it helps getting a little support from you all too

I was nervous but she of course did awesome!!

They also had to remove a fatty deposit (well I discovered it last night and asked them to ask the vet about it this morning). They said it was an old hernia from her umbilical cord, so for an extra $50 removed and analyzed it to make sure it wasn't cancerous and what have you. So she was under for twice as long as my in-laws dog, Angel, who was spayed today as well.

So she has two littttttle incisions on her abdomen and she's completely out of it still, she's walking funny like she's sore and won't drink but it's only been a few hours, she's probably still drowsy and out of it from the anesthesia.

But must say, it's so adorable that she's out of it, she just wants to be around us and is very lovey hehe

How is the Jamester doing?

[Pawsitive Thinking]

Good news. I am sure she will get lots of fuss too

How is the Jamester doing?

She's pretty much back to her old self today!!

Her "umbilical hernia" incision was "leaking" fluid but I'm sure it's just from her licking the area and/or running around outside (which I told her NOT to do... but you try telling an Aussie not to run!!). It isn't red and irritated and it looks GREAT so far and she isn't even that interested in licking it a whole lot so hopefully she heals soon!

Unlike Charlie, he licked and scratched his to the point it got infected and was raw for... probably a good two months we had to deal with his. Even with an e-collar, he would break or rip off every one I could get on him and it was bad ><
