So glad to hear that it went well. I bet you can't wait for her to be home tonight.

I'm glad to hear that she made it through the spay safely. Let us konw when she is home!

(What's her size/weight, might I ask? Meg's on the waitlist for a spay but she's only 5 lbs so it makes me nervous...)

Zoey weighed in this morning at 4 lbs 15 ounces, one day after her 6 month birthday.

My precious Zoey is home now, she clung to me as soon as they brought her out and while it was hard to lay her in her bed - she is now resting comfortably. The vet assistant commented on what a sweatheart Zoey is.... but of course, we (I) already knew that ;).

She did wimper (and I mean only a barely audible wimper) a bit however, I do believe she was beginning to feel a bit of the pain. They said to not feed her too much or too much water as the pain med may cause sickness. But I did go ahead and give her the 1/2 pill they authorized. I also ground up a small bit of turkey (they pulled 4 teeth) and fed it to her while DH gave her an ice cube to lick as she needed.

She is now sleeping and I plan to do the same later - in touching/cuddling distance. Is a bit crazy how attached we become to these little girls... but I can not imagine my life without her. I also must add, that I believe in my heart of hearts, that my dear Jazzy who I lost a year ago; is with my Zoey in spirit and that somehow comforts me. :2hearts2:

Wow, did I write a book? Thanks for all of your support, it means the world to me!!

Just now saw this thread. I am glad Zoey did good with her spay. Sending wishes for a speedy recovery. I know you will spoil her rotten.LOL

I am so glad Zoey is home and resting. They wouldn't release the foster pom as they didn't spay her until late afternoon. The shelter set it up and I can't go against the vets so I had to leave her their. I feel so bad for her. Does Zoey have an E collar on?

Oh no, I am so sorry for her and you too! My vet wanted to keep Zoey overnite... is their normal procedure but when I found out noone would be there with her I requested special permission to bring her home. I think the only positive thing is maybe no distractions will allow her to sleep fully thru the nite.

We have 2 of the softee cone collars (thanks to Mom to Hot Rod - Bo) tho we haven't had to use them tonite. I left one with her at the vets office but she hasn't begun 'messing' with the incision yet. I suspect tomorrow and the days that follow will be a different story. I know that I am very happy to have them on hand and they received high praises by the vet staff.

Our thoughts and prayers remain with you and your foster pom.
