I had Mochi spayed 2 days ago. I was also terrified because of her weight (2.5 lbs). I dropped her off at 9am and was told that she would have to stay overnight, but I knew there would be no one overnight taking care of her. I had decided to go to the hospital in the evening to talk to the vet and pick her up no matter what (knowing no one would take care of her overnight). The vet called at 2pm and told me Mochi did really well and asked if I wanted to pick her up later in the evening, I didn't think twice and answer DEFINITELY. Well she came home a bit lost, cried a lot, but at least she was with me in my arm. If there was anything wrong, I could take her to the emergency.
So..... yes, I would 'fight' to death if the hospital did not let me pick up my baby on the same day!
When checking your baby in, make sure they use the gas Isofurane, had her bloodwork checked, and may be bile acid test, too.
I think I was also over worried about her. Today is the 2nd day after surgery, she has already returned to her old naughty self - jumping and running. But I confine her in the kitchen and she was very pissed of what I did to her. I hope the following 2 weeks will go faster so that she can run crazy with her brother again. |
