 | |  | | OOHHH--good luck Sadie! I am getting spayed next week and Mommy is a nervous wreck!!!!! I am 7 months old and Mommy has been putting this off--even though she shouldn't! I asked my vet specifically about pugs, like the previous posted suggested. The vet said she leaves the intubation tube in a pugs mouth until the very last second to account for their impaired breathing, whereas in other dogs she tends to take it out somewhat earlier. Arrgggg--Mommy is sooooooo nervous! I wish there was a pill dogs could take instead of surgery, Mommy would give it to me religously!!!! Best of luck to you! Oh, by the way, my vet doesn't keep the pups overnight because it is not a 24 hour clinic and she feels that they are better off at home, where there is someone to watch them. I know other vets keep them overnight. I am not sure how I feel about her coming home that same day. I am going to do some research on the internet. |  |  | |  |

....it's natural to worry about our furbabies... but Sadie is still quite young yet, so she should be just fine. I'm assuming that she doesn't have any complicating medical conditions the vet should be aware of. My Lily was about 6 months old and she had no problems with the procedure at all...as soon as the pain med wore off, she was up acting fine (the pain med can make them "appear" worse than they are because it makes them sleepy and can sometimes cause a temporary loss in bladder control which happened with Lily). Much older dogs are spayed all the time and they come through it very well.
!!! If you can avoid seeing her that way than that would be great for you!!
