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.
