Thank you all so much for the positive words. Also, I just realized that I forgot to mention that they have her scheduled for the teeth cleaning at the same time of the spay, but again assured me that they will be closely monitoring her and if for any reason she is not doing well under the anesthesia (such as temp. dropping, etc) they will not do the teeth. As I've read and they also stated it is better do both at the same time so that she doesn't have to go under anesthesia again.

So please let me know if there are any other thoughts, suggestions, etc. Unless I hear from anyone a reason that I shouldn't have it done- I plan on taking Tessie to the vet tomorrow morning and discuss all of my concerns with the vet before I go forward with the spay. I have printed off the sticky info on anesthesia and I will also discuss with the vet my concerns about the bile acid test. Only if my husband and I feel 100% confident then I guess we will go ahead with the surgery.

I also ask for prayers and special thoughts for my Tessie tomorrow. I keep telling myself that everything will be ok & count down the hours to myself saying-- "in only 24 hours she will be out of surgery and doing fine.... and in 72 hours she'll be back to her happy & sweet self." I am just so nervous because she is truly our little baby girl and I don't know what we would do if something happened to her.

Thank you again for the advice and positive thoughts!
