Technically, there isn't vet staff overnight. Our vet also has a kennel and there is a technician who lives in the apartment above the clinic/kennel who does checks every couple of hours through the night. Angel has her bed, blanket and a chew toy (though I don't think she'll be chewing much) with her. I also took her yogurt and dinner and they are in their fridge. I also paid extra for a special IV to keep her well hydrated with added dextrose soe she won't get hypoglycemic while waiting for surgery. I'm still undecided if I'm going to see her this afternoon. When I did that with Sissy it was even harder to leave her............. |
I would have been okay with that situation...my old vet has NO ONE near there & the dogs are alone all night
And at Chloe's size, that's just too scary.
I asked about an IV during the surgery so she doesn't get dehydrated after reading someones story about how the tiny almost died after the surgery (Kalina82's Morgan, I think
), but the vet said they usually only do that for elderly dogs, so she's not getting it...I wanted her to, but I'll be with her 24/7 for the next few days so I'll be able to watch her & call in for an emergency if necessary. To be honest...I couldn't really afford it right now, either
