Princess,

Get a second opinion. Do not just go with what 1 vet says. I have a friend of mine who just does anything and everything her vet says. So now, she is in the hole several thousands dollars. She had had everything under the sun done to her cats, dogs, and bird. She was thinking of taking in a chipmonk who comes to her and takes bread & peanuts out of her hand to eat. Medical doctors are the same way. If they find out you will spend money, they will milk you for repeat office visits, and needless surgeries, and so on. Same goes with our furkids. We have to watch out for them.

The one suggestion I may ask of you to do is this - ask Violaine. She is very good with info. on most everything on all kinds of our pets. She is brilliant. Truely. She maybe able to help you.

Please keep us posted on this. I am a huge animal lover. I will keep you and your baby in my thoughts and prayers. Peace be with you both.

Love,
Drew

Hey you....thank you so very much. I did get a second opinion, see post below. Should have mentioned that in my opening post, sorry to have left that out. Violaine, don't know them. Are they here on this site? I'll see if i can hunt them down and pm them.

Thanks for the advice and ty for keeping us in your prayers and thoughts. That is exactly what I need. Hugs to you.

Bella, I'm sorry about your puppy..


Just like in a human, any time they go under there is a risk..

But that being said..

I have assisted in about 15 proceedures using gas on a young cat/dog and they all came out of it..

It's not a hard proceedure, it's just because she can't verbalize what she is feeling, that she needs to stay with the vet for a lil bit of time...

If it's a teaching hospital, then yes, someone is going to be there and she is going to be loved on... She might be a lil scared, but honestly, when we had babies in for longer than over nights, we loved on them...

At the vet hospital that I worked at.. We didn't recomend visits...(for non critical animals) The repeate separation tended to be more stressful than the waiting... Truthfully, I don't know if that is true or not.. that was just the vet's policy...

I know it's a hard thing, but separation is not always a bad thing... It teaches them that you do come back...

Random, your information is so wonderful to me. Thank you for that!!! I do have a good feeling about the love that they gave while I was there today. She was just adored by them and they held her and kissed on her and made me feel really good about the love they have for the animals there. It is a huge teaching hospital here at the University of Tennessee. I had asked them if i could spend the night with her and that is when they told me that they do have "visiting hours". It is so nice to hear that if they stay a little long they get a little extra attention. Thanks for those words of comfort.

Please, if you can afford it, have the surgery done because they can't tell you when they are in pain. We only knew Jack's good eye was going bad because he was stumbling around (couldn't see). We thought he'd had a stroke.

Your dog will be fine and in good care. She will be glad to see you when you come to pick her up, but she will sleep fine.

Jack gets along fine with just the one eye, but I'm sure he'd rather have both of them. The vet said that his other eye probably got infected and literally rotted away. There was no sign of any medical attention to his eye socket. I get chills thinking about how much pain he must have gone through during that time. We have another Shih Tzu who's eyes are fine, we keep both of them groomed pretty close around their faces though. I will see if I can find a picture of them to post.

--June
(((((((((June)))))))))) Thank you for posting. I have heard that shih tzu's do have eye problems. OMG that Jack of yours is so lucky to have you as an owner. Makes me cringe at any neglect to any animal as I know that is how most of us feel. I can afford it financially...it's emotionally that is the problem.

But, I will do what is best for her, not necessarily what is best for me. I am glad your other Shih Tzu's eyes are doing great.

Would love to see your babies. I have one posted of bella as well.

Thanks again and bless you for your post and advice.

If it makes you feel better, make arrangements to go visit one time right after her surgery just so that you can see for yourself that she is doing okay after the surgery. The separation will likely be harder on you than it is on her, as she will get lots of loving.

I believe you are right Tranzman, I don't think i could stand it not knowing if she was ok. That week I will probably post a lot I'm assuming there will be little sleep...lol. Thanks for your thoughts.

Belle~

One more thing about Shitzu's you may or may not know. They are prone to kidney problems. We learned this the hard way when ours ended up having to have a stint put in his kidney.

I will be keeping you and Bella in my prayers

I believe i did read that prior to adopting her but honestly hadn't thought any more about it. Thanks for that. I will keep watch on it. I am a nurse but i'll tell you, just like with my kids, when a sickness hits home, it is terrifying no matter what the training. Thank you for your sweet thoughts.

BFF...this is going to be harder on you than it is on her. She will be scared for a little while until she gets use to the sounds and smells, but her purpose there will happen, and then she will be sedated and her recovery will stretch out the hours until she can come home to you.

I agree with Random about separation not being a bad thing. When my daughter was little and in preschool, oh she tantrumed when I dropped her off. She didnt want me to go. The teacher finally had to take my arm and pull me out of the room because I was so caught in my daughter's tears. The teacher said the same thing...my daughter had to learn I was going to come back. And the only way you can teach that was to leave and then, come back.

I have started a little prayer book...it stays on my alter until I begin the prayers of the day. You and Bella will be in it today...
