Bonny, Dora is 4 lbs even. Missy is 4 1/4 lbs, but she's slightly overweight, must be the homecookin'

Dora hasn't gained weight in a long time, although she was charted to reach 5 lbs. We will see, I guess.

UPDATE! Dora has made it through surgery. The vet said that she is a very brave little girl, and did really well. They have her in recovery now. I am suppose to phone in 2.5 hrs to find out what time she will be ready to come home. They want to keep her there for awhile, normally their policy is to keep the pups overnight, but this paranoid Mommy WOULD NOT allow that, as there is noone attending to them while they stay there. They also weren't going to give her any pain medication to come home with

so I've insisted on 3-5 days worth of metacam for my little girl. I want her to be as comfortable as possible.

Thanks for the support everyone. I will try to be more diligent with my picture sharing once I get my new camera lens. I was just getting frustrated with my new camera, and learning how to use it, so I haven't been taking as many pics as I use to. I do still browse daily, and post when I can though. Couldn't live without my YT!

Yep, I will be by Dora's side every minute of the night, which is SO much better than her being left unattended in a vet's office over night. Thanks for the yorkie kisses, sending some right back at Apple and Buzz (the little cutiepies with the coolest names EVER).

I am not worried anymore. Dora is a tough little girl with LOADS of spunk (unlike Missy, who's a total wuss lol). My only concern was her making it through the surgery, and she has.

Thanks for the get well hugs. Smooches for your crew!

yorkieusa · 05-06-2010, 12:03 PM

I'm glad she came thru ok. You'll have your baby safe at home tonight.

Darlene68 · 05-06-2010, 12:11 PM

Hugs to Dora!!! I'm happy everything went well!!!

Britster · 05-06-2010, 12:11 PM

I'm glad she came through a-okay! She is such a cutie pie.

LilMissy · 05-06-2010, 06:54 PM

Wow - I am so impressed with how well Dora's surgery went! When I went to pick her up, she was shaking quite a bit, but as soon as she was with me, she stopped. She was just scared I guess. She has been alert, but VERY calm. Which is unusual for Dora LOL! She is finally having her first sleep since I picked her up 2 hrs ago. Her incision looks INCREDIBLE! I can't believe it! I have had several pets spayed in my life, and I have NEVER seen such a clean, small, straight, perfect looking incision before. The sutures are all internal, and I don't see any glue or anything. It actually looks like it's healed already, although I know it's not. It just looks that way. So my new vet gets

from me! Now, I also have to mention the price difference between my new (much better) and old vet. Dora had to have 8 teeth removed. At my old vet EACH tooth would have been $34 (times 8), her spay would have been $484, plus an exam $67, and the microchip $64. With 12% tax, that would be a grand total of $997...IF they didn't charge me for anything else. My new vet charged me $299 for everything. Spay (210), teeth removed (20 for the lot), and microchip (55). The meds that I insisted on, and they don't normally send home with them, were free! I can't say enough good things about this vet! I will be posting a positive review online and dropping off a gift at the office tomorrow.

Now for pics. Missy is thrilled to have her sister home. I had to move her bed next to the crate, because she will not leave Dora's side. Dora ate a bit of chicken, and she wanted me to hold her. So I took her for some fresh air on the back deck. It's so funny, she can't stop yawning. Dora's usually SO spunky. She looks pretty good hey? I'm really impressed with how well this all went. Thanks for letting me share.
