OK, I took a deep breath and scheduled Kozanna to be spayed on Jan. 22. My vet assures me that she will be fine and four pounds is a good weight. I've never had a little one like Kozanna spayed and I'm a basket case already! It's worse because she is so afraid of everything and she is going to be traumatized. She will stay overnight at my vet's because she will be kept sedated and on pain meds. I would normally bring one home the evening after a spay in the morning, but Kozanna is an exception. I wish I was able to comfort her, but that's still a way in the future. She likes me and lets me cuddle her, but is still very much afraid. She will be microchipped at the same time. After this, Kozanna won't have to see the vet again until she's due for vaccinations next year unless something unusual comes up. I just hate having to do this, but I think spaying is necessary and she is almost 10 months old. Can't put it off any longer. Oh, goodness, I'm a mess already! |
