I think this is a good vet but possibly I needed to ask more questions and I have a few to ask on Monday when I call them. Like, will pain meds be offered to take home and how long pup will be hurting etc.
They did tell me he needs a teeth cleaning which will be about 100 bucks. She showed me some yellow plaque that was on his back teeth...his front look fine. I think having the shots and the neuter done this month and the second set of shots plus the tooth cleaning done next month will work out ok.
His little neck was so tender and sore last night after his shots, he was not comfortable at all poor lil guy. So I wonder about his pain tolerance with the upcoming neuter....
Still it must be done. I don't want any accidental litters with my daughters Chiwawa who isn't fixed. Plus should he ever wander off and someone grab him somehow I don't want him ending up as a stud in some awful mill.
A fixed dog isn't as valuable as a non fixed dog to these sort of people that steal dogs and flip them. I think he'll be happier after he heals up...not as likely to wander etc.
still sort of nerve wracking. I love this lil mutt, I hope his surgery goes smoothly... |
I am sure he will be just fine. Please keep us posted!
