No food after midnight/surgery tomorrow
 

My stomach is already in knots!!! I am so nervous for him! When we made the appointment for Jeds neutering he was only I think 2.9lbs. Thankfully, we have found some food that he likes and treats that he L.O.V.E.S and he is now up to 4lbs!!! That make me feel a little better about the whole thing. He is almost 5 months. The reason for going ahead and doing the surgery now is he started marking stuff, everywhere!!! Vet told me it "was" early for that to start but not totally unheard of. Still wanted me to wait 3 weeks till the surgery. Now the 3 weeks are up and the big day is tomorrow and I can feel the queezyness starting for me.

It is always nerve wracking when they have that surgery but just keep yourself busy and it will be over before you know it. I have 7 animals, 5 cats and two yorkies so Ive been through it 7 times in the last few years and I know the nervousness but you have to put trust in your vet and know youll be happy when its done and over with. I will keep Jed in my good thoughts and prayers

Don't worry Jed will be fine. Presto was about 3 lbs when we got him neutered, he's upto 3.9 now. He was up running and jumping the next day, i think i was more sad and upset than him.

I know you are scared but this procedure is so successful that I would try not to worry and just think about how great it will be to pick him up and get him back home. He will probably be pretty sleepy and just snooze the rest of the day and night away. Remember, your group of fellow Yorkie lovers are pulling for your baby!

Thanks ya'll! I know he will probably be fine. I guess I am more nervous about the "after" You know, how to keep him from jumping on stuff, how to keep him from licking. They told me about 9 days after surgery to take out the stiches. 9 days!!!! 9 days of no jumping? 9 days of no licking? 9 days of not ripping out the stiches? GASP! How did everyone handle these problems?

Hi...

Our LucyBelle had her surgery a few weeks ago at 4.5 pounds. I was so so nervous, too but she did GREAT. Someone here said to us a baby onesie to cut down on the licking...I "borrowed" some from my daughter's babydoll clothes bin and they worked great!

Last Saturday April 16...my 7 month old boy Harley was neutered. He started marking outside when he was about 5 mos old...I kept him comfined in the house when I couldn't watch him while he was potty training...but for the past 4-6 weeks he has done awesome with his potty training and I don't confine him much anymore unless I have to leave the house for a few hours...but anyhow...I did catch him 1 time lifting his leg in the house I quickly said NO and took him outside..he can mark his a$$ off out there LOL and he hasn't tried since...I did think about getting him neutered sooner but I didn't wanna put him under anymore than I had too..and at 5 mos Harley wasn't even teething yet...his Adult teeth didn't start coming in until he was 6 mos old...I'm happy that I waited cause he had to have all 4 baby k9's removed...I killed 3 birds with 1 stone...neuter/baby teeth removed/and microchipped all while he was under...I was a nervous mess I didn't leave the Vets office until my baby was a wake...than I went and did a few arrons...LOL But since Tuesday I have noticed Harleys not marking as much outside anymore...it could be that he is sore and it hurts a little when he lifts his leg I'm not sure but I'm hopeful his marking days are behind us...LOL

Harley hasn't done any licking at all...keeping him confined so he doesn't jump and run has been the hardest so far and he only has 1 more day of confinement rest left..Yay!! but my Vet said only 5 days of confinement rest...I guess all Vets are different.

Try not to worry to much...trust me I know its easier said than done...but everything will be ok...I will keep you two in my prayers...Don't forget to get the Blood panel done before they put him under...very important..Good luck!!

Bentley and I are sending our thoughts and prayers your way. Jed will do fine. Its you I'm worried about. Take some deep breathes!!! It will be ok. Those baby onies are a good idea. Keep us posted.

I just drop mine off and try not to think about it until they call to say they are ready for discharge. Make sure he has had preanesthetic blood work before allowing the procedure to occur, I feel strongly about that.

I will keep your little one in my thoughts.

Sending get-well wishes! Don't worry too much - my Bullet was just 2.8 lbs when he was neutered (at 7 months old). Luckily he never learned to mark and still squats to pee like a puppy. And yes - pre-anesthesia blood work is a must!

One of the yt members sell collars that help... I have seen many great review for her see below



Ask me about: The Kiss-E Cone Collar - http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/gen...ne-collar.html

hope all is well... I know it will be:p Remy was just over 3 lbs when she was spay

Kody went in this morning too - he is also getting micro chipped?

Your little one will be ok.

I got my Kiss E collar on Monday.

My little Becca just got back from a Spay yesterday,
it was like nothing happened. Spry as ever.

But on the Stitches, my Vet put some in her, which
dissolve on their own. lol :confused:

Kody is out of surgery and in recovery everything went fine. Will pick him up 3:30.
