I feel like I could have written this post myself. Holly was scheduled to get spayed in September, but she had a skin infection that turned out to be caused by mites, AND she went into heat. Honestly, I was a little relieved because the thought of her going under anesthesia made me so nervous! We rescheduled for Nov. 9th, but then she started getting diarrhea and vomited a few times (vomiting has since stopped). Needless to say we had to cancel, but her diarrhea isn't clearing up with the medicine the vet gave us. She tested negative for giardia, and I had them do blood work for kidney and liver functions (which turned out normal), but it makes me really nervous to schedule it again. I think it's hard for people to understand how emotionally tied we are to our babies, and how difficult it would be if something bad happened.
