So that was just lovely. Mitsi came Home fine, but groggy. Shes having some issues pottying now, I posted that in another thread. Thanks for the support everyone and the prayers. Made Me feel so much better ( :

You did the pre-op blood work and this was some other test that the nurse was calling about? Why didn't they say anything while you were dropping Mitsi off instead of calling you after?

That sounds super strange to me. I would tell the vet about this call and what was said when you take Mitsi to get her stitches out.

I got there at 7 with her. They put me in my own room and when they were ready they came in and got her to draw her blood. Once that was done they brought her back to me until they were ready for the surgery when they came in and gave her an injection to make her sleepy. She fell asleep in my arms and then they took her for her surgery. Once the surgery was over they brought her right to me and I sat and held her while she came to and until about 3:00 in the afternoon when they felt like she was stable enough to go home. They gave her an injection for pain before she left and sent her home with more pain meds and an emergency number just in case something happened. She slept on my lap the rest of the day and night and was still sleepy for a couple days, due to the pain meds, but she did perfect. I did take a picture of her incision every day just so I would have a record in case something flared up but it didnt and she got along perfect. That said I would never take my baby and drop her off to wait for surgery in a kennel and to be put back in the kennel after surgery. I liken that to taking your 2 year old to the hospital and just dropping her off. She trusts me and I wanted to be there for her. It couldn't have been a better experience. As far as her personality changing so far I haven't noticed anything. Good luck to you, I know it is nerve wracking.

I wanted so badly to stay with Her but I can't stand to watch Her get shots, My Husband usually stays with Her when they do that (she loves Him dearly). But My vet is a small town vet with few rooms. Thankfully The Receptionist took a warm fresh out of the dryer blanket and held Her until around 30 minutes before I arrived to take Her Home. It was so sweet of Her and Mitsi just adores Her anyways.
