I was so scared to have my 3 lb. Jilly spayed and waited until she was 6 1/2 before I could brin myself to have it done. She had the pre-op bloodwork, the vet used a recognized protocol I'd heard of(I didn't have Internet back then) and she had the surgery. As they had a vet tech through the night, she stayed with the vet that night and I called - shall we say - more than once through the night to talk with the girl. When I picked her up the next day, she was still groggy & slept a lot that night but by the next day, she seemed to almost be herself. Of course I was giving her her pain medication as directed because torso surgery hurts and that Rx was keeping her a bit on the sleepy side but helping keep her comfortable(another big concern). But within 4 days, she was seemingly back to her old self and better protected against developing mammarian and uterine cancer, which was a bigger fear than letting her have the surgery.
