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.....) |
Your story just brought me to tears for the woman, the pup and YOU. I am so sorry you have that guilt that you carry around. You thought you were giving her sound advice. Millions of dogs and cats go through this each year and they are doing kittens a 9 weeks old now. Just know you give wonderful advice. Hugs
To OP you need to do do what is best for you and your pup. We call can give advice but in the end it is your choice. Like the advice of others please read about the anesthesia. Talk to the vet you trust. We all love our fur babies and want the best things for them and for others. That is why we are all here. Hugs
