I know your anxiety about putting your babies out for surgery. I did not want to get Cecilia spayed until she was older so that she would have more weight on her and she went into heat. Unfortunately though she stayed in heat for over 60 days and after several vet visits we decided that spaying her right away was the only was to stop her cycle. I was so scared to have her put under. I had read all of the terrible stories about Vets using too much anesthesia with the tiny dogs. But ultimately I had no choice and she was spayed. I absolutely refused to leave her at the vet hospital overnight and since I don't have kids or other animals, my vet said that it was okay to take her home. Anyway when she was spayed they discovered that her ovaries were covered in cysts so it was good that she had to take them out.
Just make sure you ask your vet about the spacifics of the surgery and the anesthesia that will be used. Ask lots of questions so that you can make your decisions with as much info as possible. Baby, Cecilia and I hope you get better soon. |
Belle was an 11 year old Bichon that had the problem for a good 3 years. They would get them drained and she'd be fine a while then one day she was with a different groomer and they squeezed them til they bled. It was on the chart for them not to be touched, but she didn't check the chart. Things went from tolerable to worse after that. She needed surgery, but things came up.
