Baby getting spayed on Monday - YorkieTalk.com Forums

estaple · 04-27-2007, 07:16 AM

I have been putting it off since I just haven't been looking forward to surgery. She is 7 mths old right now, and not a tiny so it shouldn't be too dangerous. Any suggestions about how I should prepare for this? I have heard about different types of collars and clothes to keep her away from her stitches. I want to keep her comfortable-- she goes in in the morning and I pick her up that afternoon so I will have her at home that first night.

I have to do this but really dreading it!

Thanks,

Erin

Cali is getting spayed Monday too. I feel the same as you. But Cali is a small girl (3.4 lbs). I'm going to look for the preemie onesies. I'll be glad when Monday is over and she's back home, safe.

I will be thinking about Cali when I go in on Monday. I am sure she will be fine. She is such a dollface!

Sammy got spayed yesterday and she's sitting right here next to me. She's definitely in pain, but she drank and ate and perked up when I gave her a treat! She's 6 pounds and I had to put a newborn onesie on her so she didn't lick it. I'm sure she will start to feel better in a few days. I took today off and I will stay with her all weekend.

Good luck to your baby for when she gets spayed. See if the can put her stitches internal. I found that helped a lot, Autumn didn't even want to touch that area!
I am sure your baby will do wonderful!!!!

Thanks, I'll keep your baby in mind also.

Like you said, I am sure everything will go smoothly.
