My little Rylie goes in for her spay on Friday. Can I tell you I'm already getting nervous?
She has her pre-op exam and blood work on Thursday. They offered to keep her Thursday afternoon and overnight for her surgery because some people don't like being inconvenienced by making the drive twice. I politely said no thank you, I don't mind bringing her in again.
Really? You expect me to choose to leave my baby all alone the night before she goes under for surgery??? I can't believe people actually elect not to keep their love bugs with them the night before.
I love my vet. He's very good, so I shouldn't be worried... but I am. I wanted to get her in for her spay before I have to go back to school. This way I can be with her every second while she's recovering and spoil her to death. <3
I asked if they would be checking for dental needs (like retained puppy teeth) while she was already out and they assured me they would and that it is routine for them. She will also be getting micro-chipped.
I printed out the anesthesia protocol thread to take with me to her pre-op appointment. I tried to ask the receptionist some of the stuff, but she didn't know as it is a case by case basis thing. I opted in to all the optional "fees," such as the IV (why you wouldn't I have NO idea). I also already bought a onesie for her to protect her stitches.
Is there anything else I should ask about/check in to/have done/prepare for? I want to make this as smooth as possible for my baby. Thanks!
