Boo is being spayed today
« on: March 14, 2006, 09:11:29 am »
My little girl is going under the knife today.  I'm pretty ok with it.  Its the after part I'm worried about.  I made sure they're going to give her a prescription for pain meds.  I feel so bad.  She was freaking out in the vet's office.  But it has to be done. :(

She'll be fine.  We all worry about this procedure though.  She won't exert herself in ways that will hurt herself. 
Good luck, pup and let us know how you're feeling and recovering.

Hang in there mom! I know it's easier said then done. She'll be home before you know it.

I know she'll be ok in the end, I just hate the thought of her being in pain.  And she knows something has been up because she's been whining for 3 days now over nothing that I can see.  If I wash my face, she's next to me whining; if I sit down on the couch, she's laying next to me whining; if I walk out to the kitchen, she's following me whining!  Maybe she was going into heat?  I have no idea.

Poor Boo! Animals bounce back pretty quickly though, I bet you'll be surprised. I'll be in your shoes in a couple of short months so let me know how she does. Sadie's my first female dog and the boys are SO much easier when it comes to this.
Dear Lord,
Just for today, let me be the kind of person my dog thinks I am.

She should be home today too.  I have my dad coming to help me get her into my SUV.  Then there are stairs at home.  Poor puppers!!

Poor Boo, good luck to her and a speedy recovery!
On a side note, I have never had a dog come back from being altered on any pain meds. I think the idea is that it is easier to keep them quiet when they are a little tender, and they don't injure themselves--pull out stitches and such. None of mine seemed to be any the worse going without.

It was actually the vet who first suggested it.  I thought it might be a good idea.  She may have said it knowing how high activity Boo is.  I know that they are giving her some before she goes home, so maybe if that gets her thru the first night she won't need anything else.

Ok I just called and they said she was just getting out of surgery  ???  They said it took a long time because she's so big and had a lot of "stuff" to move around.  I'm not quite sure I like the sound of that!!!

Ok sorry for all the posts but this is actually stressing me more than I thought it would.  Apparently I can't pick her up till 6.  She just woke up now.  Poor Boo!!!!  I feel horrible.  They said she was curled up in about 10 blankets.  She's probably wondering "where's my ma in all these covers?  She never hides this good!"

How is Boo feeling? We just had Jasmine spayed a week ago. When we brought her home she was very very groggy still, but she seemed better by morning. Still kind of tired acting, but seemed a lot better. I hope everything went well and that Boo is doing ok!
