Thanks for the explanation. Same reason my vet wanted to wait till Tallulah is a year old to do her spay surgery -- he has been reading that surgeries for any reason in early months of a dog's life can interfere with physical development. I know that other people, including excellent vets, disagree but it makes sense to me.
I hope the Butrenorphine works for Princess Chloe. It's so awful when our pets have even minor pain and we can't help them.
You're lucky to be close to UC Davis - I wish we had a vet school down here in So Cal. |
