I lost 2 shelties within 5 months. One 12 years old and the other one 8 1/2 due to a stroke so yel I'm scared and worried. |
Oh gosh, I'm so very sorry for your losses
. That's so tragic/sad. I hope your new little one is bringing you lots of joy and mending your heart.
Lol, all 3 of ours sleep with us and always have...except when they were really, really tiny...then we used an Iris pen for at night, right near our bed.
Can you buy some doggie stairs? That's what we use for our bed so they can get up/down safely.
My kiddos didn't bother their stitches at all, so I never bought a cone. You can get soft cones now that are padded and less awful than the regular ones. You can also buy a newborn "onesie" and put that on there after the spay to hide/protect the stitches from herself.
Try not to worry too much, but I know it's natural. She will do just GREAT!
