Mmm, I just called them and no there is not someone there overnight.

They say I can pick her up at night if I want, but they like to keep spay patients overnight. I'm thinking I will drop her off early (for me!) at 7:30 when they open and pick her up in the evening before they close at 7:30.

Just remind them when you drop her off that you intend to pick her up that day before closing so they schedule her surgery earlier in the day...

Yah, they said the earlier the better. They open at 7:30 so I'm gonna try really hard to wake up on time and get there then.

That's what I would do!

I don't really quite understand why on earth a dog would be better off sleeping at an empty vets office when they could be home... that's never made sense to me! I also made sure to find a vet where I could pick Jackson up the same day and I did the same thing as you... I brought him in right when they opened at 8 and picked him by 4pm.

Good luck!!

I see that you are from my hometown. Can I ask which vet you go to? I will be coming back home soon and I'm thinking of microchipping/giving vaccinations at a different vet. Thanks!

Well from what they told me there are people there later than and earlier than the open to public hours, but just not 24 hrs. So for example someone could be there as late as 9 and someone else be there as early as 6, but at 3am, no there is no one there.

I think also with puppies + pain meds they would want to play still, or with households with lots of people, kids, or other animals, I can see why it's be better for them to be at the vet's instead. But Uni's almost 4 and she's not a crazy playful puppy anymore. She'll most likely just be sleeping.

btw, I got her a onesie from walmart, it has a turhey on it. so cute! So she won't have to wear the cone 24/7.

All my love and prayers to Uni for her spay...we'll be thinking of her!!

It's Garden Grove Dog & Cat hospital. See reviews here on yelp.
Garden Grove Dog & Cat Hospital - Garden Grove, CA
Last time we were seen by Dr. Hess, this time it was Dr. Malo. They are both great. Dr. Malo (the younger one) is very friendly and whistles all the time, and cracks jokes. This place was voted best of OC, I forget what year though. they have an enormous English Mastiff there all the time, he's the mascot. Don't worry he's behind the counter and totally a big couch potato.

If you need a quick not too serious vet check up or for vax, go here:
Golden State Humane Society Animal Care Center - Garden Grove, CA
They also do spay and neuter but are not a full service hospital, but are VERY low prices. Office visit fee only $15. So if you got something not so serious I go there. It is a bit more ghetto, like NO one picks up after their dogs outside even tho there are poop stations everywhere. When I go here I carry Uni in. We see Dr. Gallardo. he remembers what you were in there for previously. He is known to suggest surgery a little to quick though.

capt_noonie · 11-16-2010, 01:53 PM

Oh yeah wanted to add: one of my customers happened to be an emergency vet. He asked me which hospital I go to and I told him. he said Dr. Malo is very good. There are 2 Malo's. The older one has a very long wait for him, but the younger one is just as good.

Very happy to hear that Uni's LP is a 2, not a 3, and that she has filled out her figure a little

. Also happy to hear that you have a great vet office.

Where is the bump on her head and how long has she had it? How big is it? I don't want to discourage you from having the biopsy done, but Max had a bump on top of his head right before he went in to be neutered. The doctor was going to scrape it during the surgery. I put a little olive oil on it and it went away in 3 days, so I canceled the scraping.

ladyjane · 11-16-2010, 02:45 PM

Positive thoughts for Uni ... I am sure all will go well!

It's a hard bump about 3mm in diameter. the vet didn't seem too concerned with it, but we're doing a biopsy on it just to be safe. I'm not telling bf how much the biopsy is.

he'd say just cut it out and hope it doesn't grow back! but the bump's been for for about a month or so. hasn't gotten any bigger but it bugs the hell out of me, so it's coming out.
