One of the vets here charges extra for the monitoring, another does not....of course the one that doesn't charge for it does charge a higher fee.

I'm glad you took her in, and now will have her spayed......the possibility of pyometra will be gone then.

I got the impression that the blood work was to determine if they had any pre-existing conditions. Sheesh.. I dunno about me. I was feeling ill myself thinking of my little "coo coo" possibly being sick or undergoing surgery. They're so dog gone tiny and helpless . Hopefully next visit I'll be in a better state of mind to absorb what it is they're trying to share with me. I did ask her what type of anesthesia they use ... she mentioned "something" and then said she would discuss it further with me next week. I think it was iso..... something.

I was stressing so much.. I feel sick and have a headache. I'll be turning in early tonight.

How can such a little creature have such a major impact on your life??

Thanks again everyone.
