| Mork is Getting Spayed Today The Vet moved the day up and Mork will be getting spayed today instead of on Friday. Please pray that little Mork's surgery goes well today and with no complications. I'm so worried about her. Little Oreo, who is slightly smaller than Mork, had such a rough time when we got her spayed. It was awful. She was not feeling well for two weeks. The first night home, Oreo screamed all night and I slept on the floor with her for several days. Also, she had to go back to the Vet several times and was provided with stronger pain medication and Valium. I really hope Mork's surgery is much easier. The Vet assures me that the experience that we had with Oreo is very unusual and that it isn't likely that Mork will have these problems but I'm still worried. Thanks

| I'll be very happy to read your post when Mork is back home and in your arms. These little ones have a more difficult time with being spayed, but Mork is young and should bounce back quickly. I didn't need anything with my girls in the past, but a soft cone or a baby onesie put on backwards might make Mork feel more comfortable than a hard cone.

| All of mine had internal stitching, too. Because it's sore and she won't understand why it hurts, she might try to lick it. I bought a onesie to keep her from licking her wound, but I never needed to use it, so I returned it. I think if I had not been able to monitor my little ones all the time, I would have used onesies just in case. I'm so sorry Oreo had such a difficult time. It's so heartbreaking to see our babies afraid and in pain.

| I am sure your baby will be fine. My little Bean was spayed yesterday. I took her in at 7:30 am and picked her up at 3:30. She didn't eat or drink and slept in her soft carrier all night. She was up at 5 am this morning wanting to be loved on and to eat. Oh, she also had ten baby teeth extracted! My baby is 6 mos old and is doing great. My prayers go out to you and your baby. |

| Praying for Mork and a comfortable night tonight. My Jilly was 6 1/2 before I could chance having her spayed and she had an uncomfortable night though she mostly slept and made teeny whining sounds if she moved much but my Tibbe does that any time he's had anesthesia. Scares me to death but they usually do fine in a day or two if they don't have complications and most don't. Just give her the pain medication as prescribed, keep her from jumping, and be sure to ask the vet what to do if she seems highly agitated, highly restless or whining a great deal or is shaking a lot and it's still an hour or two before her next dose of medicine. A lot of vets will say call me or go ahead and give her the next dose an hour or two early if she seems to be in a lot of pain and watch her closely. I hope is all goes well for little Mork, you get "the call" she's awake and well soon and she recuperates quickly.

Thank you!! These are all things the Vet will be asked. I don't think I will be able to call her after hours since her office is only open from the hours of 8am-5pm but she might know of somewhere that can be called after hours. I wish I had known to ask these sorts of questions of my Vet when we took Oreo in to get spayed. I would have called in the middle of the night because she wasn't whining, she was screaming. I know now that they can have complications and I won't make that mistake with Mork.

| I wanted to let everyone know that the Vet called and Mork is out of surgery. They said that everything went as expected and that she is doing fine but it will be a little while till she can be brought home.

| Wow, that was fast. I just saw this and was getting ready to send prayers, and she is out. So I'll just send prayers for her speedy recovery. Don't forget to take pain meds home. All my girls were a little groggy for the first day or two, then snapped out of it and I couldn't hold them back. I hope Mork has it that easy too.
