| Spay day was a no-go Agh! Some you might remember that Lily's spay was scheduled for yesterday. Well, the vet called at about 12 and said they had just checked her blood work and her white blood cell count was a little bit low. She said she thinks it was because of the forever-long kennel cough we had... something about how her body had been depleted of white blood cells, and she didn't want to chance the surgery, Lily get an infection, and her body not be able to fight it off. SO- she sent us home with antibiotics and vitamins to take for two weeks, and the spay is rescheduled for the 27th. Anybody else have any experience with something like this? Or do you know of any other reason her white blood count could have been off? I know that a high count means there's some kind of infection, but this was the first I'd heard of a low white blood cell count.

Luvs Lulu Donating Member | It was for the best. Glad that they checked her blood and decided to wait. Better safe than sorry. Not sure about the white count but your vet seems to be pretty on the ball.

| Oh yeah, I definitely think it was for the best. It scares me to know that something as little sounding as that could mean something worse happening. Let's hope she doesn't go into heat before the 27th!

| 5 1/2 months. I've heard they can sometimes come in at 6 months on the dot.
