Chloe's getting spayed tomorrow I'm so nervous. :( She just turned a year old, so I know she's at a good safe age, and she's over 5.5lbs, so she's a good size... ...but she is still a small little critter. I know they do these surgeries all the time, and they are very routine, but I can't help being worried about it. After all, it is major surgery--they take out everything! I have made and cancelled several appointments over the last six months, and this time, I'm really going through with it. I just hope it all goes well. |

shes going to be ok:) im sending prayers too |
Thanks :) I don't think she spends the night. I'm pretty sure I have to pick her up in the early evening. I"m going to get a onesie for her to keep her from licking her incision. |

I guess so. :confused: Everyone at YT says they use the onesies instead of e-collars. |

I was the same way and Carly was 3 lbs. I had the blood work done and everything I could to do it right with no problems. I was actually making myself sick that whole week before. She had the surgery Friday and I took her early in the morning and went to work (a wreck) and tried to stay busy. I think I called to check on her three times and by 10am she was done in recovery. I picked her up at 5pm and stayed by her side til Tuesday. I even took two days off from work to be with her. She did fine! I will say a prayer for your baby Chloe!! ;) |
Thanks. How long should she be under the weather after the surgery? How long before she'll be able to run around and play and just be back to normal? |
I think a good 10 to 14 days. They can't run, jump or do stairs. My vet gave me papers with instructions on what to do and how much medicine to give her and I followed that sheet. The x-pen really made it easier because she mostly slept and rested the first couple of days. I am sure your vet will do the same. I thought I would have a problem with her licking the incision but I did't she would look at it from time to time and maybe once or twice try to sniff or lick at it but only for a second. all that worrying and she was fine and I have to say it was not a bad experience. |

She should be able to resume to normal activity at around 2 weeks after surgery..The vet wil give you very detailed papers w/instructions to take home. Btw, Once Daisy got home (a day after her surgery-she stayed overnight), she ran upstairs and ran [I mean, the "zoomies" :eek: ] around the entire house. At that point I had read the vet's instructions "..no stairs, jumping, etc..." :eek: I was trying to catch her..trust me, she was "back to normal "like nothing had happened..LOL I ended up having to keep her in the pen for atleast a week. Only allowing her to come out for "gentle, lap time". She aLso ended up with a minor Urinary Tract Infection -whcih cleared up quickly with antibiotics. Keep us posted on sweet CHloe and good luck to her! |
I'll be thinking of Chloe tommorrow. I haven't had Sissy spayed . I have made 2 appointments and cancelled them. I should be ashamed of myself,however I'm not. |
Yeah, I cancelled at least 4 appointments that I can recall. I can't put her in an x-pen because she jumps out of them, the little terd :mad: :p Wow, 2 weeks is a long time! I was thinking it would be 5 days. I'll have to keep her in her crate more often. She is really into jumping and running, so I'll have to keep her settled because she likes to get those zoomies! |
Don't worry girl she is going to be fine I will be praying for her:hands: |
Aww poor Chloe, i'm sure it will all go smoothly. Your worried because you being a good mom :) Recovery time depends on the dog, Indy was really a mess for the first week but then was back to normal. The hardest part afterwards is stopping them running and jumping. |
Prayers coming your way. I know it's nerve racking. Penny goes on the 16th of next month, and I'm a wreck already. |
Chloe's back home now. My poor baby. :( I know she must be in pain. They gave her a pain injection, and she was pretty out of it for a while--It is so hard to see her like that! She drank a little bit of water, but won't take any food. She's just laying in her crate, not moving too much. I put a onesie on her, but she walked right out of it. Poor thing...i'm going to worry about her all night! |

So glad that Chloe is back home and recuperating. Tonight will probably be a bit rough for you, and hopefully the pain meds are working. She shouldn't cry or shake because that is their signal of pain. So glad the surgery is done though, and she will be back to normal shortly. Plus no more worries about heats. Warmly, Deborah |
Aww give Chloe a cuddle from me, i'm sure she'll ba back to herself soon. |
I wanted to get Pixie speyed...but i think she's going to be too little..when i mentioned it to her breeder she wasn't happy about it and went on about the risks with such a little dog. Does anyone know how much she may weigh as an adult? she's 16 weeks on monday and weighs 1lb 10oz. My guess is about 3 lbs...maybe less though? :confused: |
Aaaw Misty!! I just found this thread.:( I hope that little Chloe is feeling better this morning and that her appetite improves today. Poor baby and poor you, I know how worried you must have been until you had her home safe and sound. Sending very gentle hugs to our little friend, Mango and Spanky send healing Yorkie kisses.:hug::hug: Lauren. |
I have had both of my girls spayed at 6 months. They were fine and came thru with flying colors. My younger one was actually "glued" back together! There was really no down time- they are smarter than u think- they know what they can do and what they can't do. She will be fine and u will be back to:aimeeyork :aimeeyork kissing her in no time! |
Thanks all! Chloe is doing much better today, and she even ate all her food last night and was eager to play. She can get into the onesie and lick her seam (it's glued too). So we have to keep on her about it. I'm about ready to put a bandaid over it! |
I am so glad to hear Chloe is feeling better!! I know it makes you feel better too, it is sooooo hard to see them not feeling well. Get well soon, Chloe, your very, very brave!!:nursing: |
