I need some encouragement...I am worried sick... - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I feel your pain. I just went through this with Delilah about 2 months ago I think. I could not even take her to the vets myself. It was bad. She came out of it extremely clingy and whinny so afterwords you are going to be carrying around this beautiful ball of whinny fluff that wont let you put her down. Be prepare for lots of lovin. Be careful because they get use to it and want it all the time. LOL.

Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

Oh, what a tough choice. I pray she does extremely well with no complications whatsoever. Try not to stress so much, she will pick up on it. She has the face of an angel. What a precious little girl you have there.

LillyBug · 12-07-2008, 04:25 PM

I was the same way 4 weeks ago when I had Lilly spayed. Your vet sounds wonderful, she is in good hands. Let me know how everything went!

Raven · 12-07-2008, 04:58 PM

I felt the same way when Hope was spayed - she was 3 lbs. at the time.
Best wishes!!

I just went through this with Abby about a month ago and I had the exact same feelings. She did wonderfully!
She's curled up on my lap right now. I'm so glad it's over, just like you will be by tomorrow afternoon

All the best to DeDe

Thank you so much...that's right, your babies are little too aren't they? I just love your avatar pic...she's so beautiful. Yes, I think my vet and I have prepared in every way that we can on testing and now it's just time to go through with it. I know it's the best for her...so that's why I have to do this...but it's not easy. If they haven't called me in a few hours I'll be calling up there like crazy...lol they are going to hate me tomorrow!

Thank you Sharon, I have tried to get other people to take her for me...I don't want her to hate me for this...

But in the end I feel like I need to be there with her.

Oh gosh, she is ALREADY like that...I still hand feed her every single day...she eats raw food and I have to pick it apart for her and feed her piece by piece...lol. Spoiled? No way...

I don't know if she can get worse or not...lol

Thanks, she is my baby so I have to be biased and agree with you!

I really appreciate your prayers.

Oh I certainly hope so...I have already made up a bed on the couch so that when she comes home tomorrow we can just lay around and hang out until she's feeling herself again. Abby is so cute!!!!!

For everyone that has just been through this recently...how long did it take your baby to come back out of being weak and get back to being themself? Did they eat right away? I already have to hand feed her so that's nothing new...but she's so little I worry about her even skipping one meal. I guess I can always syringe her like I did when she was a baby. Boy, she really IS going to come out of this twice as spoiled as she already is!!!

Thank you!! I will most definitely update here as soon and I know something tomorrow and then again when I have her home!

scrapindee · 12-07-2008, 08:08 PM

Nicki,

Your vet sounds very experienced. I wish you both well. We worried about Gumdrop when she was spayed last month--less than 3# but it turned out fine--keep us posted and you will be in our prayers and thoughts tomorrow.

KYBLUE · 12-08-2008, 05:00 AM

nicki

dede will be fine you have had everything done for pre op to make sure of that
it can take a few days for them to bounce back good expect her to sleep alot 24 to 48 hours just make sure she get's alot of water i would not worry to much about her eating
but not to much at first so she does not get sick use you own instint and your knowledge back when my pooh was spayed little baby also the meds they used were different than today
and i think they are safer than they were
she was with us for nine more years you just have to watch when she starts feeling better not to over do

mypreciouspups · 12-08-2008, 05:55 AM

Nicky I remember when you had your sisters litter... I know the worry of surgery when ya love a baby so much.. I cancelled kacee's teeth appointment last winter.. finally did it this summer.. and was like you.. but he did fine and sure feels a lot better for my doing it..
Please updte us on how she is doing.. as for how long.. you would be surprised.. I took a male puppy in to get neutered and brought him right home with me right after surgery.. the next morning you would not know he had surgery the night before at all...
You just make sure she does not do any playing as they think they can and they do given the chance...

EmrldShdwQueen · 12-08-2008, 10:12 AM

Thanks again everyone...Rose I'm glad you said that...I didn't think about that...it might be worse to force food on her and give her too much and then she gets sick. How old was Pooh when you got her spayed?

Anne, thanks, it IS scary...and that will definitely be a task trying to get her to stay still...she LOVES to play and run wild...

Maybe at least this first night the pain meds they give her will keep her a little quieter. Tomorrow will be a challenge.

Linda, yayy I can't wait...it will be after Christmas sometime when I have a little extra and I can afford for you to make her some adorable warm fufus!

I'm waiting on them to call me...they said they call everyone after lunch to update on how they're doing...and you get to pick them up after 4PM once they are sure they're doing fine. So I'm trying to be patient for that phone call...I"m about to jump out of my seat...

I will update when I hear something or when I get her home!

Tiger's Mom · 12-08-2008, 10:17 AM

Hi Nicki, I will pray for Dede's speedy recovery . . . she is sooo darn gorgeous . .I just love her face . .
