Good for you, I think you have made the best choice for Crystal.
It will be a worrisome day, as it always is for all of us, but I'm sure it will go well. Be sure to take home pain meds to have on hand if needed. Our vets offer them as an option at a small additional cost; it is always better to have them in case she needs them rather than return to the vet if she does have some pain after. It will also help her relax and sleep in the first 24-48 hrs.
My girls all were a bit slow for a day after, but then I was amazed at how they snapped back in the next few days. I didn't even have to use the e-collar on them as the stitches were done internally, and they didn't lick. I had baby onsies (pajama like garment) on hand, but didn't need that either.
You and Crystal will be in my thoughts on the 8th, good luck. |
