In Heat More Prone to Fleas?

thanks for the information but you are preaching to the choir.
I've told her my opinion on this but She isn't my dog. .

That was more for anyone who might find this thread by way of google or something rather than PT members. I did not mean to offend.

I met with her today and said that she had an appt in August for her but she came into heat early.
She is also rather uneasy putting a smaller dog under anesthia b/c she just lost a 2 ish year old poodle to anesthia in April.

So sorry to hear she lost a dog. With today's anesthetics and monitoring equipment that's quite uncommon, but it's just heartbreaking when it does happen. Sometimes it's just one of those things no one can explain. She has my deepest sympathies.

She might consider pre-op blood work on this dog just to rule out any undetected problems prior to surgery, and if everything checks out ok (which we hope so) then they'd have a baseline of normal tests for comparison in the future.

Hopefully her new dog's surgery will go just fine and will be back home with mom in no time so she doesn't worry.
