these were the items on the bill, milu also had some of her baby teeth pulled, but i don't see anything about that listed. the dewclaw was because when i took her to the groomer, the groomer informed me that one dewclaw was still growing nails, the groomer said it's not a big deal, but i just asked the vet to do whatever he thinks is the best. (and i guess removing it is better?) i hope this was a good decision, to have the remaining dewclaw removed, and i hope this is not going to cause milu too much pain. 
i was also a little tiny bit sad when they weighed milu before the surgery today. she was 2.6 lbs, she lost 0.1 lbs? i don't know why? i mean, she's been eating fine, and i have been trying to fatten her up in preparation for her spay surgery, but i guess i didn't do as well as i had hoped... |
Oh, I glad everything went well, and you got the teeth removed, and the dewclaws. You don't want to put these little ones under, if you don't have to, and getting it all done in one shot is best. From what I've read, they have more trouble recovering from the dewclaw removal than from spaying, but people who have said that their older dogs got their dewclaws caught on something, and ripped them, really recommend their removal. Hopefully she will be feeling better tomorrow. Some do have a few set backs with potty training, but you need not worry about this. Stay in touch with your doctor, and don't be afraid to ask him any questions regarding food, and symptoms she might be experiencing. Let us know how she's doing tomorrow.
