Charlie get spayed next thursday
Can someone take my fear away of the operation, I'm just worried something would happen unexpected and I would never forgive myself that I have let the vet operating her for no reason and I fear of losing her for no reason!?! Maybe it's the best just to wipe out my fears, I hope and I try!! 
Some good thoughts and tips would help!!    |

| Just think about how many dogs are spayed and neutered every single day with no problems! She's going to be just fine!
|
she will be fine!!!!! she just might be mad at you for the first day though.......  |
| She will be fine. There are preoperation blood tests I hope the vet uses to assure himself and you she is a sound pup.
I've had girls come home raring for action, climbing out car windows and over fences while others want nothing more than to go to their bed. Varies with dog. Some complain afterwards, but most just sleep it off. I think your response will have a lot to do with it. Don't hover, cuddle or make a big deal about it. Come here and whimper, but let the dog see only your strong leader side. No water or food when she gets home, maybe ice cubes. Next day you can slowly get her back to eating and drinking normally. You'll love not having to deal with a bitch in season every few months!! |
| She'll be fine! Just think--she's almost 3, so she's in the prime of her life. Strong and healthy! |

Yes the Vet is doing a blood test to check if everything is fine! I think I'm just so worried because of what happend with Ellie! I actually did watched last summer by another Vet a couple of dogs and cats getting spayed, while I was there for one day as a "test" day for a might-be job, and the spaying didnt took longer than 15 min and I could see what they where doing. I think I just need some "lovely" words from lovely OES Friends!! |
We are with you on this! When China was spayed, she recovered quickly. Pearl, the cat, was hopping up on cupboard tops within hours of coming home....had to put a stop to that immediatly. 
Hang in there....We'll be thinking about you the whole time. |
| Lucy, my 14 year old, just came through a procedure where she had to go under anesthesia and she came through with flying colors. Don't worry, I'll know Charlie will do just as well!
Funny (well not funny) side fact: Lucy was spayed twice.  After I adopted her when she was around 4, as a rescue, she needed to be spayed. Apparently she had been spayed very young and there was no visible scar. The vet went in to do the spay and couldn't find anything and then he realized (from internal scar tissue) that she had been spayed already so poor Lucy went under the knife for nothing.  |

Yikes, that is pretty horrible, but obviously it did not effect her longevity!! We had to have a cat spayed twice because the stupid vet left one of her ovaries intact!!  Needless to say, we changed vets after that. |
Everything will be fine  When my Westie was spayed she was a bit sleepy at first, then tried to get up the stairs so we had to stop her in case she broke the stitches. Just give Charlie plenty of rest & she will be fine |
| She'll be fine.
When Rags was spayed she came home and acted like nothing happened. She even jumped right up on the couch.
I was told to keep her calm, but Rags does not know what calm is, unless she is asleep.
She did sleep more than usual the first two days... but no problems. By day 3 you would have never known she had just been through surgery. She was bouncing around the yard like Tigger. |
| Monika you are doing the right thing. My Vet told me that Daisy may not ever have had the mammory tumours if we had spayed her as the number of cases in a spayed dog are far fewer than in an intact dog. Also after going through three operations to remove the tumours Daisy then got Pyometra, another disease that would have been prevented by being spayed. Poor Daisy had to have an emergency spay after all that and she got through all the operations in just 6 months with no problems.
Charlie is a healthy young dog and I'm sure she will be just fine. We will all be thinking of her and you can't ask for better prayers than we can give! |
| AAAh thank you all sooo much!!! Just by reading all the wonderful words you wrote I do feel much better and I'm looking forward to it now!
Especially when you, Karen, wrote about Daisy if you would have spayed her it would have been so much different and better for her. That makes me even more thinking of that I DO the right thing!
And it's great to hear from you all, that you are with me all the time and think of me and Charlie!! Thank you, thank you thank you!!! xxxxx |
| Charlie is going to be fine. You'll see. It is much healthier for her in the long run to have the surgery done. There are so many things that it prevents, you'll be glad you did it. Don't worry. |
