So glad to hear Brandy is doing well. I had Bella spayed at 6 months and it didn't bother her at all. The vet didn't put a cone on her but told me to take a white clean sock and cut the foot off of it and put that over her head and haul it down to cover her stitches if she was trying to chew at them. Worked perfect...she could still go to the bathroom and there was snow on the ground and it kept it dry. Bella now is 20 months old and weighs 6 pounds. She has weighed the same since she was a year old. I try to walk her twice a day. I used to free feed but I found I was having to get up in the night for her to go potty. Now I divide the food up in 3 meals and it is working much better...no more getting up in the middle of the night.
