BFF...this is going to be harder on you than it is on her. She will be scared for a little while until she gets use to the sounds and smells, but her purpose there will happen, and then she will be sedated and her recovery will stretch out the hours until she can come home to you.
I agree with Random about separation not being a bad thing. When my daughter was little and in preschool, oh she tantrumed when I dropped her off. She didnt want me to go. The teacher finally had to take my arm and pull me out of the room because I was so caught in my daughter's tears. The teacher said the same thing...my daughter had to learn I was going to come back. And the only way you can teach that was to leave and then, come back. I have started a little prayer book...it stays on my alter until I begin the prayers of the day. You and Bella will be in it today...

Princess have the surgery. My little one she is 2 years old had her spay at like 6 months old and she was fine, had pain meds and everything. I know that it will be hard but you have to be strong for the furbaby. I have two dogs and I love them to death. I would do anything for them!! I will keep you in my prayers as well as your little one

I am sorry to hear that your pup needs this surgery, but I will tell you from past experience, its well worth it.
I had a chow/collie mix who suffered from the same thing and it was just miserable for him until the surgery. Recovery was really minimal, albeit he was a much larger/older pup than yours. The only one issue I can remember was the halo knocking about the house. Best to you - I am sure she will be fine. |

As best I can remember, it was about 3 days before Lucky could come home. This was over 10 years ago and after the surgery (I had both eyes done) he never had another issue. As with human medicine, I am sure that animal medicine has also made leaps and bounds in treatment and it sounds as if your baby is in good hands. We have been reading Cesar Milan's books and applying his techniques and philosophies to our schnauzers (two Giants and two minis). I mention this because its so important to remember that dogs pick up on our energies. Try to keep a calm energy with Bella as you take her in for surgery so that she doesn't feel your anxiety. You might be surprised (as we were) in just how true the theory can be. Wishing you both the best! |

I am astonished, humbled, thankful and honestly shocked at all of the responses to my thread. I am so thrilled at all of the responses to my problem and those of you that have come to offer comfort, information, support has just blown me away. You all rock!!! It means the world to me and omg has helped me so much. I am going to keep this thread going and continue to bring updates and more information until the day comes. Please feel free to ask questions to the ones that post here if there are problems with your animals and you need advice. Great information and support is all we need to get what we need to make good decisions. Violaine.....I know now why some of my friends referred me to you. Your information is awesome. I can't thank you enough. Thanks for the link and the candid responses to my post. You have helped ease the pain and it gives me much needed strength to go through with this. I want what is best for Bella, no doubt and I am somehow going to get through this. Hugs... Kim, my friend, you are amazing to me. I had not thought of getting her "fixed" at the same time. I'm going to call them this morning and ask. What a great idea. Thank you so much hon. Gabriella...wow you've had two dogs had this done? Amazing!!!! Yes, what you say makes sense about keeping them to ward off infection. You have given me so much comfort. Thank you!!! Brock, my heart goes out to you for the loss of your Hannah. Nothing hurts like loosing your best friend. ((((((((Brock))))))) It is so hard to make decisions on precious little animals that totally depend on us to make the right decisions. It is so hard knowing the decisions are what is best for our babies and not for ourselves. I admire you...you did the right thing. Christie, you bring up a great point. I WILL try to be calm and upbeat for her and just continue to show her unconditional love as she has given to me. Thank you hon.

princessbelle,
I do understand your concerns. Keep in mind that puppies are incredibly resilient. Remind yourself you are doing what is best for her. Keep us posted on how she is doing ... and try to stay away from her chewy toys! *grin* Prayers to the Good Spirit for both of you. Brock. |
