Clover is getting spayed Dec 2nd

**Sowa** · 11-23-2011, 10:55 AM

I called them today and asked if she'd be able to come home the same day. She said I could put a request in with the vet and if she does well in the surgery and the vet feels she's OK to go home then I can come get her.

I think they do this so people don't freak out in the middle of the night and call them?

I took Clover in this morning her her Spay

I worried ALL night about it. The vet office just called me and said she is out of surgery and did fine. She's sleeping now. They said they'll let me know later if she can come home. I told them I don't want her alone from 5:30pm til 7 or 8 am the next day. She'd pee in her kennel and have to sleep in it all night. They said she'd just sleep anyway. I said I'll keep her in a kennel and just let her out to pee. I'd be so much more comfortable having her with me. I miss her and can't wait to give her a hug and kiss. I hope she's not too mad at me for having her go through all this.

Glad she did well. She will be so happy to see you that she will forget all about being at the vet. If they let you take her home, do keep her calm and not let her jump up onto anything. She will be a tired girl.

Good to hear Clover did well.

I hope she can come home tonight. By tomorrow, you will have your hands full, if she's anything like my pups, she'll be ready to run just like nothing ever happened.

Prue never exhibited any anger etc. from her visit to the Vet for spaying. They sleep through most of it and the pain begins when the meds wear off at home. She may not like the Ecollar if they give her one. I like the soft blue ones, but some dogs would just chew the collar right off. Most vets use the hard plastic collars. Dogs usually hate them and can't wait for them to come off.

As I mentioned before, Prue did not bother her incision site at all, so I let her go without the collar. I was home with her for the first few days, so she was not alone with the temptation.

I hope all runs smoothly for you. Give her a couple of days of being lazy and then a few of being quiet, and she'll be fine, I promise.

Paws crossed.

Glad she did well. Dogs are so resilient, she won't be mad at you.

None of my dogs cared when we had them fixed, so she will be fine. A little sore, but fine!

Do you think she'll be sleepy all day today? I'm going to have to keep her upstairs in a kennel, and she'll likely whine if she's not sleepy. I don't want to leave her up there but I figure there stairs will be too much for her. If I have her upstairs then she can just go outside to pee, it would be right there, no stairs. Do you think after today she'll be ok to make it down stairs?
