My vet also did a 2nd pre-op blood work and a ekg the morning of her spay due to her first pre-op showed a slight elevation in her BUN and they wanted to make sure it came back normal the 2nd time.
My vet doesn't have a vet tech or anyone staying there overnight which is why they do the surgery in the am and you pick up same day in the pm. I would have no problem with her staying overnight if there was someone there with her. They are truly out of it the first night when they get home anyways.
FYI the cone thing was ridiculous that they used. The poor girl couldn't even hold her head up at all and then they told me that they "learn" to eat with it on . . .Ummmm, there was no way she would of been able to eat with that thing on. I took it off immediately and monitored her to see if she would bother with the incision spot. I was also home on vacation. She didn't try to lick it once at all. When I went back to work, I had her in a onesie so that way I knew she wasn't going to lick when I wasn't around.
I'm sure she'll do fine, really, it's US that are the nervous wrecks.
