I know how you feel. Last year Mike had neuter surgery at 7 1/2 month old and his surgery was invasive due to him being a cryptorchid.. I was terrified for him to go under anesthesia, but I knew it has to be done, especially due to his condition. Please know that for healthy dogs and when anesthesia is done right the risks are very low (as per what I've read and my conversations with vet). I'm sure you know that but make sure there is a bloodwork done before anesthesia. I also asked my vet a lot of questions, about whether there will be a person in the room dedicated to monitoring his vitals, will they have an iv open and how he will be hydrated during and after the surgery. He did so well, despite having a huge scar on his belly and was back to himself in a day (even though it took longer for stitches to heal). I'm sure most of us are terrified for our furkids, but after all after getting our questions answered we must trust our vets. Sending you lots of support <3 |
