Hey poodle fam.
I just wanted to check in and air out my thoughts. I’m feeling a little emotional. I’ll be fine once it’s over.
Lacey is being spayed tomorrow (3 days before her 1st birthday).
I’m sad at the thought of removing healthy organs that serve a function to her body, even if they aren’t going to be used for reproduction. I’ve done research regarding timing/risks/pros/cons, and I’m confident about my decision. My heart is just hurting since the day is finally almost here.
It’s a common major surgery, but I can’t help but feel nervous for my honey girl (her most common nickname).
I feel a little better I somewhat know what to expect, since Lacey was put under to remove teeth and it was during the COVID-19 restrictions. I’m hoping the vet tech that works for my breeder is working and can be the one to take care of her.
I wish I knew what to do to help make it a little better for Lacey. Maybe I could send her with a t shirt that smells like me to keep in the crate at the vet. Doubtful because of infection control issues, but I’ll ask them just in case. If anyone has any ideas, send em my way.
thanks for letting me vent. I’ll send a quick update once she’s home tomorrow.
