I know they must deal with a lot of overprotective pet parents...but they were kind when I brought in the actual printed out page of things to ask that I found here on YT (thanks YT!). I don't understand the anesthesia well enough to know what they should be using...
I'm probably rambling, but I'm sure many of you know exactly how antsy one feels just before giving our Yorkies over to someone else's care. Each one is precious and irreplaceable. 
P.S. Thanks for replying!  |
