I would recommend you get Roxy's baby teeth out at the time of the spay. It is normal practice, so that later they don't have to be put under again. I also think they do better coming home that same day and being in their familiar surroundings with those that love them. I brought all 3 of mine home the same day and all went well. One thing is be sure they send Roxy home with pain meds. I only gave mine the pain meds for a couple of days, but it helped get them through the worst of it. It's truly amazing how fast they bounce back!
Best wishes to you and Roxy. I know how scary it is to go through and you will feel so good once that surgery is behind you. I'll say a prayer for her successful surgery and quick recovery! Roxy is adorable! |
Thanks so much! I spoke with the vet today, and I am going to pick her up the same day. It didnt even cross my mind to ask for pain meds! I amd def. going to make sure I ask for them!
