Shaven head

Can someone answer me this question when we had milly spayed.They had shaved a small patch on the top of her head.It seems to be taking ages for it to grow back,We would have asked the vet but we didnt notice it until we Had got her home.My son and oh took her back for the stiches checked but they said they felt too embarresed to ask why her head had been shaved.I would have asked if i had taken her

Can't help we have a boy, hopefully someone will be able to help

cod liver oil or omega 3 should help the fur to grow back

Give the vets a call tomorrow and ask Xx

No idea. Lexi didn't have one. I can't imagine any reason at all for it tbh?

weird. I have never had that experience when I have had a female spayed. I'd ask for sure.

When Dempsey had his anaesthetics (3 times, poor lad!) they shaved a spot on his leg for the intravenous, but not his head! Can't think why they did that. I'd ask if I were you.

In the years I worked in a vet surgery I have never seen or heard of a shaven head. They should only have shaved her belly, and her foreleg. I ould definately ring the vets and ask why!

Sounds weird to me as well

They shaved her front leg and belly.And she has this small shaven patch on the top of her head.I hope they didnt drop the shaver on her head Thats the only explanation we can think off.My poor girl My oh said maybe they stick some kind of monitor to her head while shes under

a vet will have a place ready on a dogs body for a canula just incase it is needed as no procedure is 100% safe they always prepare for for a bad situation maybe the vein in her head would have been easier to get to in an energency. just a guess but its all i can think of

Maybe then i just hope it grows back soon

lemmy had a small patch cut just with scissors not shaved on his neck and it grew back it just takes longer than ours does.

There hair is so short anyway isnt it i like dogs with short hair.Milly and jessie dont realy loose a lot of hair.My other dog hes long haired and its Always all over the floor is.The vaccum cleaner is always full of his hair he has loads.He doesnt get cold at winter unlike jessie and i suppose milly will be the same.

It was probabilly for a fentanyl patch (pain relief patch)

Not normally on the head, but I suppose it's possible.

Did you ring them to see why it was shaved?

You can always give this a go......

Ive been told that they shave it on there head because they have a soft spot on there head just like a baby does and if any thing happens what shouldnt they use this spot as a precaution
