OUCHHHH I don't know it just sounds so painfull. So you say Livvy took the shot o.k. Did she seem mad at you for getting it done and how old was she? I would like the peace of mind but ever since I took Tinky to be spayed she won't go near the front door. Sometimes I will take her out to sit on the porch with me and she climbs all over me when I walk her to the front door, and when I took her to the vet to have her stitches out she was so scared I could see her fear in her poor little face when we walked into the vet's office. Amber Lee if you don' t mind answering those last questions, and any other advice from anyone who has done it (without their pet being sedated) would be appreciated. I don't ever want to lose my baby but I don't want to hurt her either.
