Not to worry you further but I would check (now) to see if all of her immunizations are up to date - ie. kennel cough and distemper. I adopted Scooby at the humane society and he came home with kennel cough. With her being so young and having to have surgery plus having to stay there for five days I wouldn't want her immune system to be comprimised with an infection.

I would guess that she has to stay there for a week because she'll have to wear one of those halo guards. I would certainly go and visit, although I would go in calm and cool, like no worries because dogs do pick up on our energy. I have no doubt she will be thrilled to see you and for a little bit she will be with her person.

The vet schools are really good at taking care of animals and while it is scary to put your beloved pet under, she will come out healthy and well from this. Have some faith, visit her and keep us updated on her progress!
