She's gonna be great!! You'll feel SO MUCH better once it's done and over with!! Just know that it's hard when you pick your little one up after the surgery (I almost burst into tears seeing Lola like that). She's going to completely fine, but it's just hard to see them not feeling well. Lola was whining a lot, and was still pretty sedated. She just slept the rest of the day/night and the next day was feeling completely better, and seemed back to normal. It's really the anesthesia that causes them to act like that. It's probably not so much the pain because they give them pain killers. So try not to worry too much.

I just wanted to warn you about that hard time, so you know what to expect. I'm so glad you found a great a vet to go to, and I know she's tiny, but I'm sure she's pretty tough!! The smaller ones are always the tougher ones!!

Good luck! Definitely keep us posted on it! Oh yeah, I would bring a blankie or something you can wrap your baby in when you pick her up from the vet. I just wrapped Lola in her blanket (that she sleeps with at home), and she just snuggled right in my arms. I think it will help. We'll be sending thoughts and prayers for you guys on Feb. 25!!
