After much thought and a discussion with a reproduction vet, I decided to go ahead with a regular spay and not an OSS. The risks were less.
Now for two weeks of taking it easy?! Yikes. I’ve put up her puppy playpen again, and every time she is out of the pen she is on leash. She’s sleepy now, but tomorrow should be the big test.
Violet never did have a heat. The vet who did the surgery said from the size of her ovaries/uterus it looks like it was coming in about 3 weeks. She turned 15 months on the 14th, so pretty delayed compared to some dogs. I have heard of other minis being 15-18 months at first heat though.
Here she is in her surgery suit aka pajamas. Stinkin adorable, I think, except for her expression telling me she doesn’t feel very good.
And, I have to whine about this because I’ve worked to grow her coat out, her IV shave is a hack job. 😭 Maybe I’ll post photos of it later when she’s feeling better.
Overall, I’m so glad she’s doing well with no complications besides a peg leg haircut.
