ANYWAYS- she can't eat that morning and will not be eating all day- I am worried about her blood sugar levels. The vet initally said not to feed her when I got home but I mentioned I was worried about her blood sugar. I am worried Layla will be so out of it she won't want to eat (she will be given a sedative and my sweet girl is quite sensitive to medications).
For those that have had their pups in for day surgery- can you shed some light on this. I am already dreading leaving her there for the day  |
How did it go? Did Layla get it done yet? What is the difference between local and general anesthesia? Uni also has a bump on her left elbow, and I think it's getting bigger.
Ann said Wylie (I think?) had some folicular cysts removed with a biopsy punch and did not have to be put under, nor did his hair need to be shaved.
Uni had one on her head removed during her spay last Nov and biopsied and it was nothing. But she was under for her spay. I don't want her to go under just for the bumpy thing.
Hope Layla is doing well!
