Yeah I did. I got the Kiss E Collar and while that was way better than the plastic cone, I like the onesie too. I was afraid of potty accidents cause she uses her pad whenever she wants, so I left it unbuttoned. It still cover her incision so she didn't bother it much. Her doctor was great though cause the incision is so small and look almost healed now! I still have the onesie on her though. It is so cute too.

I think I'll need a preemie onesie. Lol

Me too. I think CoCo is 4.5 pounds at most!

ah, you're such a good mommy. ahi will do great!!

aww Good Luck little Ahi! She'll be great but being a nervous wreck over it is completely normal lol

I was so nervous when Geno got neutered and my boyfriend was flying to India that day so he wasn't going to get to see Geno after his neutering and it left me with taking care of him by myself. Geno honestly didn't really need much help cause he was a huge trooper. The first day he was pretty much out cold the whole time and slept on my lap. I don't even think he ate anything and maybe had a little bit of water. The next day he was up eating, drinking, going potty, and playing. Geno was only 3lbs when he got neutered but obviously spaying is a lot more intrusive so it's prob a little easier for boys...typical lol

I'm kind of worried the onesie will rub on the incision and make it worse. Did the onesie touch the site?

If you button it, it might. I didn't button it. I got preemie onesies. You could get just small ones and it would be baggy so it would not touch. Her incision was so small and clean, there was no problem.

FYI all 4 of my girls were done at around 5 lbs. no problems. My vet did internal stitches so there was nothing on the outside to rub on or for them to chew on; it worked nicely and I didn't need a cone or onesies. You might ask how your vet stitches.

Also there is a sticky note somewhere on YT that addresses the safest form of anesthesia and other protocol to insure best care. I'll try to find it and post, or maybe someone else knows where it is.

Good luck to lil Ahi. It will be a nervous day for you, so round up some support for yourself. She will likely be out of it for a day or two, but I was amazed at how quickly my girls came around after, and did great.

How true! I think we are all that way. I can still remember that I started crying after I walked out of the office the day I had to leave Kacee. It broke my heart.

Oh I know i'll be balling when I walk away from her. Just thinking about it now has me all teary eyed.

It will be OK. My little girl was 2 lbs when she was spayed. She did wonderful. we had to wear a cone but other than that it went well. She did so much better than her dad and me.
