Spay day and braces off today for Miss Sadie!

[Luba]

Well, she is at the clinic as we speak.

They will spay Miss Sadie while she's already under for the removal of her braces. It was hard leaving her but she didnt care. She's in heaven with all those dogs around her.

She got to play with a 16wk old St.Bernard puppy and boy were they happy!

This is just before I dropped her off. When the attendant took her lead she ran with her LMAO and didn't even look back........zoom zoom zoom!

She kills me!

Not leaving her overnight though, gonna pick her up late this evening.

Will update when the doc calls to say how surgery went.

[Princesss04]

Good luck baby!

[Goldenmom]

Ah Luba! Good luck to both you and Sadie! She will be just fine, but I know... easy to say. Us moms worry....

Let us know when you hear something

Ellie sends best wishes to Miss Sadie.

[Luba]

Thank u ladies and furries

[glasslass]

My dog's demeanor in the vet waiting room tells me heaps about the vet and staff. When she's happy and eager to go in, you know they treat her well! Now the waiting is the hard part - - for you!

[Lucky Rescue]

"Brace Face" no more!! Yay Sadie!

When she's happy and eager to go in, you know they treat her well

Right! My Chloe tries to drag me up the vet's driveway every time we pass!

[Luba]

Ok Ok Sadie update comin your way LOL

Miss Brace face is no more!

The new and improved Miss Sadie, fixed teeth and all has been out of surgery for a little while now.

The dentist said the braces did an Excellent job and the surgeon said she was 'just' coming into her first heat so she was a little uh swollen and tender.

(but I knew that lol) she was going bonkers the last three days or so, and I let them know.

At any rate, the surgeries BOTH went very well, she is sleepy and dopey and all the other 7 dwarf names too! We can pick her up around or just before midnight tonight.

Thanks for everyones concern and support. I may not be on much for the next few days, as I'm gonna spend time keeping miss thang from ripping her stitches out and pampering her!

[chico2]

I wish my cats would do the same,carrier,car-ride means vet and howling
Good luck to our Sadie,after that she'll be fine and hopefully no more surgeries.Hugs!!!

[glasslass]

Yea!!! Can't wait til the "after" pictures! And, you have to at least give us some progress reports! I think Brick should forgive her! She's been through a lot and needs someone to hold her paw!

[Spoiled]

Is that you with her? You even are starting to look like her!

Poor girl. When we got Bentley done I was alowed to watch. He started to "die" in the middle of the operation though and vet had to give him air. I'm glad no scary stuff happened to Sadie, though.

[Luba]

Thats true 'Lass so true, he should forgive and forget. Afterall if she was coming into heat you can't blame her for those raging hormones

edited to add: Yes Spoiled she's starting to look like 'me' lmao (we do look like our dogs sometimes...glad I dont' have a Sharpei HAHA)
What happened to Bentley? You never told me this?


Taken last night:

[Spoiled]

He stopped breathing in the middle of his neuter. Poor vet. The beeper went off to tell that his heart rate was slowing down, so she had to pump air into him. He was fine, but the vet just thought that he was putting on a show for me. Of course, I went white and my knees got wobbly.

[Luba]

The vet actually let you in the O.R to watch the procedure or you were standing outside?

[Spoiled]

Yup, I was in the operateing room. I was standing by the door, but not outside. I also watched a dog getting porky pine quills pulled out of his face, and a little dog getting his teeth cleaned (I had to stand outside the door for that one because of the bacteria.)

[Luba]

Because of bacteria? There was infection or for risk of infection?

[Spoiled]

The bacteria supposedly flys all around when the teeth are cleaned. I don't know about a risk of infection.

[Luba]

You're a brave girl for watching all of that. Do you want to be a vet?

[Spoiled]

Not after watching that! Imagine, cutting open animals and giving them shots for a living? I don't think my stomach could handle that. I want to run a shelter for cats only, though.

[Missy]

I'm so glad Sadie has such a great mom to look after her. She's one lucky girl. And with those looks, man has she got a charmed life

[glasslass]

When I was 12, I wanted to be a vet. My uncle took me aside and told me it's nice to cuddle puppies and kittens, but not to give a horse an enema! Changed my whole life he did!

[Luba]

Ahh tx you Missy you're sweet Sadie gives u licks!

nice to cuddle puppies and kittens, but not to give a horse an enema

Okay your uncle was not only right but one heck of a sense of humour in that man.

Never know Spoiled you may change your mind!

[Luba]

We're home, got home just after midnight.

Sadie is dopey and sleepy yes and sore my baby!

All went well and is going well so far. Will update you as things progress.

[glasslass]

Welcome home Sadie! Sleep tight in your own safe snuggly bed with your mama watching over you!
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[Luba]

Mama's watching over too much LOL

They really really shaved her a LOT, half way up her rib cage almost.

She's not very comfortable and hence I'm not getting sleep. More me then here probably. I wonder if I should have left her overnight but she's quiet and not jumping around. We have Metacam pain reliever but aren't supposed to start until tomorrow. They doped her up pretty good...she can't walk straight yet poor girl.

I should try to sleep...on the sofa near her as she wants to be on the cool ceramic floor in the foyer.

[Luba]

Well we made it through the night. Got about 3 hours sleep both of us. She's resting now though.

Had breakfast, pain meds, two trips to the backyard for elimination and so far so good.



Just took these of her...as you can see she is doing very good today

[Goldenmom]

Luba, she has GOT to be the sweetest thing! You lucked out with Sadie I tell ya! Thanks for the update, she appears to be doing just great!

Good morning Luba! I saw on the other threads that you're up and we're waiting for the progress report! How did Sadie do last night? Maybe she'll think the haircut is cool and want a tattoo or belly button ring next! Uhhh, would dogs have a belly button if the cord was tied? Would we if it wasn't?

[Luba]

There's a closer look here of her surgical area so don't open if you're squeamish okay !

Belly button and tattoos' soo funny!

Yes Heather she's my sweetie!

[glasslass]

Get Well Sadie!
