I will give advice on what tests to have done, I will say what I personally have done for ANY surgery any of my babies face, and I will give facts and give links for people to go to with information on the latest research on spaying and neutering....I feel personally terrible about encouraging and , I feel pushing, that lady to have her baby neutered, only to have her worst fears come true....I will live with that the rest of my life.....I was reduced to uncontrollable tears when I read her post that "her baby didnt make it, he died on the table".....No, I learned a very valuable lesson with that experience......wont get caught in that snare again. (I cant remember who it was that this happened to, but if you read this, know I am still affected by what happened to you and your baby, and I am soooooooo sorry that happened to you.....I think about you and your grief at least once a day, and will for the rest of my life.....) |
Oh dear one. My heart ached when I saw this post. It is almost useless for me to say don't feel guilty. But there were other posters to that thread, this woman was/is an adult and made a decision for her pet.
Neuter/spay surgery is mostly safe, given an experienced vet taking the proper precautions. And you shared that information!
This happenstance was very unusual, which doesn't mean it wasn't tragic; which it is.
