Yes, that was aweful I never ever recommend someone leaving their pet overnight unless there is a 24 hour staff...someone MUST be there throughout the night to monitor the pets recovering from surgery. Otherwise, it is probably safer for the pet to be at home.

At Ellie's vet a vet tech or two watch the animals overnight and a vet is always there (watching tv, napping) in case of a problem.

Why?

Can't you find a vet that is staffed 24 hours or bring her home with you?

aw...I bet she'll be okay. I highly doubt things like #5 happen very often...that was a result of being left unattended. I suggest only leaving her overnight where there is a 24 hour staff or bring her home with you.

All the places i checked they said i can't bring her home the same night, i can't even believe some places don't have 24 hour staff! I feel fine leaving her if there is overnight staff but still i will be sooo nervous and prob. up all night. I hope to find a place that i can bring her home the same day, im asking around and doing research

It would be best to let them keep her if someone is there AWAKE but if you want to bring her home remember she is your dog. You can always do the spay and later that night force them to let you have her. They have to give her to you. Don't tell them your plans before hand though.
