| Surgery tomorrow..worried mom! I know i'm being ridiculous, hundreds of dogs gets neutered everyday, but he's my baby, and i'm worried! Vinnie actually goes tonight, our vet keeps him the night before and the night after, but doesn't charge more, he's just a really good vet! The extra time without him will make it harder i'm sure, just more time to worry. I would just like to request some good thoughts and prayers from my fellow YT'ers since you're such a wonderful bunch! ALSO, Vinnie is a climber and jumper...any advice on how to keep him under control so the stitches don't come out?

My booboo had his liver shunt surgery and he has been neutered as well in the same time. They kept him for a week tho as they were afraid he might have seisures after that. But the first day he came home he jumped everywhere and I was jumping after him to try to stop him. But his stitches healed up fine so I don't think there's any reason to worry altho is hard, I was a reck. So all my good thought and prayers coming yous and your baby's way. May God keep him safe and make his recovery a speedy one. Maria

| I felt the same way a few weeks ago when Betty was spayed. They are our babies, it's just natural to worry. It is good that you have confidence in your vet. The worst part is waiting for it to be over and having him home again! Good luck!

| Jumping and Running Our vet sent us home with strict orders to limit the running and jumping--the only problem was she forgot to tell baby Emmy! She did not understand! She healed fine (she had a hernia removed and was spayed) and then had some teeth extracted another time. Once the "drugs" wore off, she was hyper again. Good Luck!

| No matter what any of us say you are going to be nervous and anxious for your little furbaby. We have all been in those same shoes. Just try and stay strong before you know it he will be back w/you as if he never left. As far as the jumping and running, I would be of know help. We could not keep Autumn still to save our lives! |

| Thank you all, i will be nervous regardless of what any of you say as someone else put it, but it is always helpful to hear other stories and reassuring words. I just can't imagine not seeing his smiley little face around. To make matters worse, he's been filled with extra kisses the past three days, so i'll miss him even more but it's almost like he knew something was up!

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | GOOD LUCK !! the hardest part is the waiting ....and of course leaving him while you cry your eyes out but he'll be FINE !! The jumping is something you'll have to work on though - Cheri thought she was supergirl the very next day.....Make sure they send you home with pain meds just in case and hang out with us to pass the time |

| Your baby will be fine. Try to relax and think positive thoughts! It's an empty feeling when they're not home esp. overnight. You wonder what goes thru their minds but believe me he'll be great. I was so worried the night before I left Ralphie for stone surgery/neutering/teeth cleaning and I was told he might need to stay overnight. I brought him in at 8am and by 3pm, the vet called and asked if I'd like to take Ralphie home. I was thrilled to go get him. He was not active the first 2 days because of the stitches so I didn't have to worry about him running around. He had alot done to him so he was just not himself but by Day 3, he was playful Ralphie again! Good luck from Ralphie and me!

| Thanks everyone, last night was really hard not having him around, I understand keeping him the night after but the night before just makes it harder on us. The apartment was so empty, I have no idea what time his surgery is today, but I can call and check in after noon.

| You and your little one are in my prayers today. When Kalani went in for his surgery I called the vet's every couple hours and they were just wonderful about keeping me updated on exactly what was going on which helped immensely.

Donating YT 3000 Club Member | I know how you feel. I was sooo worried when Bengi was getting neutered altough everybody tells is "routine" and blablabla. Even here, we can tell you that everything is going to be fine and that he'll be back to be himself in no time... but still, you are going to be worried a little bit, right? Well, that's part of being a yorkie mom |
