Maybe they just need to give her a bit more pain meds. I'm sure she will be fine, but I know you are worried. I was a wreck!!

Also a little tip, don't pick her up under her arms. Just kind of scoop her little butt up with one hand and the other under the arm. You don't want to stretch her little belly. That would hurt, and possibly rip stitches inside.

Please let us know how she is doing when you hear back from the vet.

My two girls were both spayed at about 6 months and my fragile little yorkie came home the same day and never seemed fazed. Now my boston mix, who is a much sturdier girl came home the same day too, but was in a bad way for three days. Same vet did both surgeries, she just said that each dog reacts differently, you just cannot predict. I am sure she will be just fine. When can you bring her home? Maybe she just needs her Mom?

Your post made me feel better, thanks. And you funny you mention her needing her mom because I was thinking that same thing!! Maybe she just needs me!! :)

I can pick her up in a little over an hour. The time can't go fast enough. I just want her in my arms.

Thanks to everyone who helped me get through the day! What a lifesaver this place is - truly. :)

Thanks so much for the tip on how to pick her up! I was sitting here wondering about that. I certainly don't want to hurt her and I was trying to think what would be most comfortable. I'm going with your plan. :D

how did it all go? is she resting at home with you now? :justhugs:

Awwww - we are thinking of you and imagining you 'cuddling your precious Delilah'.

I would be the same way!!!!!

I have to set up an appointment for my Zoey in the next month - and they want to keep her overnite :eek::thumbdown:eek::thumbdown:eek:

Will keep you both in our thoughts and prayers

Just checking in to see how she is doing. Hoping for an update soon.

I've got her home now and she's sleeping on my lap. When I got there to pick her up, she was in the back room but I could hear her whimpering. I knew it was her and I just wanted to run back there and grab her!! The ride home was a little uncomfortable for her. I think she's resting well now though. She couldn't seem to get comfortable and kept moving around. She did eat some chicken and drank water and she peed as soon as we got home. So those are all good signs!!

She will still whimper a little here and there and she shakes every once in awhile. She holds her head down so low and her ears are drooping. :( My poor baby.

On a good note, I LOVE the place I took her. It's one of those low-cost spay/neuter clinics so I was apprehensive at first. I was worried that I should have just gone to my vet. But they were great and the price difference was pretty significant. ANYWAY - she had a double row of teeth and they pulled the baby teeth that hadn't come out on their own. And they didn't charge us! I was shocked!!! So they pulled her teeth, spayed her, gave her a rabies vaccination, and sent us home with pain meds. All for $80!! My vet quoted me $220 just for the spay alone.

Okay, I'm rambling. I'm glad to say she seems to be doing fine. Thanks so much for all of your support, everyone! I appreciate it more than you know! It was a rough day for mom and I don't know how I would have gotten through it if I didn't have Yorkie Talk to come to!!

Phewwww - so glad it is over and you have your baby home safe and sound. It sounds like she has a bit of uncomfortable hours ahead but at least she has the love and comfort of home and MOMMY!! You did terrific and I am glad you shared your experience with us. Love to give the support as much as receive it!!

that's an awesome price.
i had planned on getting smokey fixed at our spay/neuter clinic here, but hubbie let me get insurance, and they cover the neuter... woohoo! everyone i know has had good experiences at the clinics.

Oh good, I'm glad to hear she's home. Now both of you need to get some rest!

So happy to hear that you have your baby back home and that you are both doing well!!!
Happy Thanksgiving.

I'm so happy she's home now! :D
