| Hi, My little girl is also CoCo! We had her spayed at 7months and she also had teeth pulled. Just make sure she doesn't have food or water for about 8hrs before she goes in She will be sleepy when you fetch her, keep her warm and comfortable and give lots of love and some water. Don't let her jump on & off beds etc. for a while. I'm sure the vet will give you instructions. She might be a little sore for a few days, but my baby was playing with her brother quite soon after her op. Good luck and prayers for the little lady.

| We had our Isis spayed about 2 weeks ago. She is doing great. She bounced back quickly and it was very hard to keep her down. I agree, no jumping on or off the furniture......we even carried her up and down the stairs... yes, she did protest but it had to be done. We'll keep CoCo in our prayers... Sometimes they do gain a little weight...

| I'm sure little Coco will recover in no time at all. My 14 yr old Jennie got spayed when she was ten (years). She had developed pyometra and besides had breast tumors. She had three teasts amputated, and also had some teeth pulled out. Well, she was in a lot of pain, NOT FOR BEING SPAYED, stay calm, but for having had the breasts amputated which involved the cutting out of a lot of adjacent tissue, skin and muscle. Despite this double surgery and not being especially young, Jennie pulled through in a couple of days, esp. when the pain from the removed tissue worn off. I guess the vet will give you some guidelines to follow after the surgery but as long as she does not pull the stitches off and the wound looks good I'm sure Coco will be fine. Rubi and Jennie. |

| We had Stella spayed July 6 and they removed 9 teeth. I would suggest having the pre-surgery blood panel prior. She couldn't have anything to eat or drink after 12:00 pm. Her incision was stitches on the inside and glued outside so I was cautioned to not let her lick or she could open it. I followed the advise of another YTer and bought some onesies, put it on so it would snap up over her tail so she couldn't lick. I removed it every few hours so she could pee and poo. Since she doesn't like clothes she didn't try to jump around while it was on which was another advantage. Since she had the teeth taken out I ran her kibble through the food processor for a few days and mixed it with canned food and a little water. She did great and I'm sure your little one will also. I can relate because I was scared also. |

| Onesies Onesies are little shirts with snaps at the crotch that babies wear, you can find them in the baby section. j

| And thanks for all the prayers coming our way! I really do appreciate it. I am really scared. In fact I called the vet today and asked how much it would be just to remove the teeth and not get the spaying because I do not want her to have surgery. The vet is supposed to call back tomorrow and talk to me about everything, and then I will fully decide if I really want her spayed. We are for sure going in Friday to get the teeth pulled and be put under which is the scariest thing. I am afraid something is going to happen and I don’t want to loose her. |
