Leaving her there was so darned hard I just wanted to cry and I am having to constantly keep myself busy this evening so I don't dwell on the thought that she is there in a cage problely thinking about what she could have possibly done wrong to get herself in this kind of trouble!!!!! This "empty" feeling I have now is I believe worse than I have felt in a long time. I want to go to the vets office and camp out on their sidewalk!! She will be gone tonite and also tomorrow nite and I will pick her up on Thursday hopefully barring no complications. My daughters little yorkies Teddy and Maxie are here and do not understand where their playmate and sleeping buddy is. They keep looking for her and giving me that long sad look like what happened??? So keep this "nervous nellie" mom in your thoughts for the next day or so. I hope she will come home in not much pain and able to stay with Teddy and Maxie. Hope I do not have to keep her confined away from them!!! Anyone else been thru this, how did your baby do and how did you handle it? This is harder than with real children!!!!!  |
I just had Sandy spayed a few months ago.. and it is not easy to leave them. Or to stand the time you are away from them. I was going bonkers.. and then she had pain when she came home.. I ended up with her at the emergency room. But most babies do not have that much trouble. She is young and should do well. Plus.. she is staying at the vets for 24 hours and they will be right there to check on her.. and that is good. Sandy was 3.5 years old when I had her done. So I think that is why she had problems. You are being smart in having her done while she is young.
Hugs to you.. do you have onsies for her? It keeps them from licking the incision and yet they are so soft. I was glad I had them for Sandy.
I will keep both of you in my prayers.
