Rita's dental

[*LabLoverKEB*]

So, her pre-op on thursday night overall went pretty well. They drew blood, (poor thing had a huge hematoma on her right jugular!), took chest x-rays, and tested her urine, and checked her anals.
Her behavior was okay. She tried numerous times to open the door from inside of the radiology room, (I kept her in their for obvious reasons, her dog aggression)! Luckily, the door was pretty heavy, but she did manage to crack it open, so I stood in front of the door for the remainder of the time. She loves everyone, and was wagging her tail as they were drawing her blood. Well, she is my big dumb happy Labrador!

I hope all continues to go well for her with the procedure next week. Keep us posted please.

Yes... I hope the cleaning is very uneventful and it goes well. I know that if our dogs ever have a bad experience with the vet, it is "all over". They don't ever want to go back and seem to have very good memories about different rooms and needles, tables, etc. Anything that was unpleasant, they seem to remember and if we are at the vet and they open the room for where something did not go so well, they immediately start to cry and start to pull away and want to get "out". They are SOOO smart and really do have good memories. Good luck!

Fingers and Paws crossed that Rita behaves and everything goes well. I'm sure she'll do fine! That's neat that they allow to bring pets in for those procedures. Are they free?

I actually need to make a dental appointment for Molli because she's never had one! (I'm a bad puppy mamma) I just don't have the money right now.
