I don't know any dogs who've had this procedure, but I have known a couple of humans. It seemed fairly uncomplicated and they healed well. I imagine that the biggest worries with a puppy are keeping her from disturbing the surgical site, and avoiding any kind of infection. As for visiting: the staff should be able to help you judge what is best for her. You might want to consider visiting her and getting feedback from them as to how it affected her. My thoughts are that although she might be upset when you leave, at least seeing you will assure her that you're not abandoning her. My thought is that this might avoid separation anxiety in the future. I'm not an expert by any means but have had dogs all my life and that's my gut feeling. Wishing your baby (and you!) well in coping with it all!

Sue, your words are precious comfort to me. That makes sense. I WILL ask them what they think and try it on the first day of seperation and see how it goes. Someone may have to help me out the door though...lol. However, this is about her and what is best for her. I have to stay strong. And god knows i'm trying. Thanks again....
