| Spaying and rabies shot? I'm getting Zoey spayed on July 1st. I figured since her rabies shot is due on July 8th, it would be easier to do the shot and spaying at the same time..is this a bad idea?? If so, I will call and have her rabies shot before the spaying is done. She was initially scheduled to have her rabies shot this coming monday, but the vet on the phone said they could just do both on the same. Also, I'm very nervous about the whole spaying surgery. She'll have to be kept over night. I have to take her in between 7am-8am and I can pick her up the next day between 9am-6pm. She is 5yrs old, also...so I guess her age is what's also making me nervous, since she's a little older.

| I personally would have them done separately, but I am a bit overprotective. Zoey might take a little longer than a puppy to recover from her spay, but if you do blood work before her spay, I'm sure she's going to be fine. I understand why you are worried; I never got used to anesthesia for my pups, but they always did well, even Ashley when she was sixteen.

| I would not get them done at the same time. Also if she is staying over night make sure someone will be there over night if not I would not want her to be there alone because what if she had some kind of problem. Don't forget to do the blood work before the spay it is super important.

| I actually just got mine spayed on Wednesday and she got her rabies shot done at the same time. It did make me nervous as she only weighs 2 pounds at almost 8 months old but she has been fine. |

| Blood work is optional, but very seriously important! It is much safer for the dog to have it done. With some issues the surgery would be postponed and with others certain anesthetics wouldn't be used. A urinalysis isn't a bad idea either. Yes, vaccines can be given onbthe same day BUT her body will already ge under a lot of stress, so no way would I do it. An overnight stay is fine if somebody is there with her. If not she is then left alone to react to the drugs in her system, rip open her incision, etc. So if nobody is there, she would be going home with me. BTW, my dog was spayed at age 6 abdhad a liver biopsy. They were staffed 24/7 and she still didn't have to stay. Not necessary for an indoor dog with an observant owner. Ellie did fine being spayed later in life. She was grumpy for several weeks though. The spays I have watched averge about 12-15 minutes plus some extra time to get the pup under, clip the area, etc. Before that sometimes other preop drugs are given, catheter placed. Sp it can take over an hourdepending on the protocol. I'm not sure how your vet books surgeries, but here the pets are dropped off in the morning and have their surgery in whatever order the get feels like at the time. So there is a several hour window.

| Personally, I would get the following possible liver shunt issue straightened out before I proceeded with anything! http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/yor...ver-shunt.html

| Yes, you are! Take it one step at a time! Most of the things we worry about most never happen.
