Darrshini OKC/Chickasha, OK 6/19/2010 6:02:12 PM My puppy is about five-six months old (we don't know for sure because we got her from the shelter), and we got her spayed just yesterday. She was a little lethargic and tired, but she seems absolutely fine despite the sutures on her abdoman. She's lively still, but more cautious with her movement - she loves to jump and play a lot. We were fortunate in that the vet assistant was someone we knew so she helped us out and we trusted her. Anyway, my puppy's spayed and I think, in the long run, it's a good thing and that she (and we) will be a whole lot happier. It just broke my heart to see her in pain though - her vet gave her pain meds. It helped.
denise mesquite, TX 2/13/2010 10:32:06 AM i just wish i would have known to get the pre blood work done the vet didnt tell me anything about it before i brought my puppy in for her spay surgery and 3 days later we had to put her down becasue her kidneys were severly damaged by the drugs that they gave her. here i thought i did all the research i needed to make the right choice for our first family pet. but really i had no idea the pet owners deserve to know about the pre surgery blood work for their pets
Dee El Paso, AB 1/25/2010 10:22:09 PM I have to take my female dog in to be spayed. Is it OK to feed her in the morning before I take her in?
terre forest grove, OR 1/8/2010 10:23:16 AM I recommend requesting the vet not to use stitches that need to be removed at a later time. I have heard it can be uncomfortable for dogs.
jerry redhill, PA 1/4/2010 7:08:21 PM Puupy has been back to vet 4 times in a week after surgery - bleeding - having trouble with stitches - not sure whats going on - she is listless - was wondering - never heard anyone having problems.
Judy Herbster, WI 12/11/2009 4:13:11 PM Thanks for the information. I had my 6month old pup spayed today and forgot to ask the vet just what all they removed during the procedure. I'm glad it's over though. Thanks again.

Lenore Fairport, NY 8/16/2008 12:09:24 PM ?? Is it usual for the vet to remove any remaining baby teeth that the dog has???
