Bella, I'm sorry about your puppy..

Just like in a human, any time they go under there is a risk..

But that being said..

I have assisted in about 15 proceedures using gas on a young cat/dog and they all came out of it..

It's not a hard proceedure, it's just because she can't verbalize what she is feeling, that she needs to stay with the vet for a lil bit of time...

If it's a teaching hospital, then yes, someone is going to be there and she is going to be loved on... She might be a lil scared, but honestly, when we had babies in for longer than over nights, we loved on them...

At the vet hospital that I worked at.. We didn't recomend visits...(for non critical animals) The repeate separation tended to be more stressful than the waiting... Truthfully, I don't know if that is true or not.. that was just the vet's policy...

I know it's a hard thing, but separation is not always a bad thing... It teaches them that you do come back...
