Just leaving for vet

Chloe is getting her spay today, it's gonna be a long long day...... I'm really gonna miss her

big hugs for chloe and you

><

AWW she will be fine I will be thinking of you big hugs xx

Well hubby's settled her in, think they give her some sort of relaxant to calm her..

She's such a big baby, I really hate the thought of her locked in a crate in a strange place

She'll be fine big hugs to you all XxX

Shocking ..... Vet just told hubby her spay is going to cost 397pounds due to extra time in theatre because of her infection ........ Really bad

Did they pre warn you?? Vets can charge what they like and we just have to pay it, insurance?? Xx

Did they not tell you that before and do they not clear up infections before the operate??

Oh my god! That must have been a shock!

wow that is a lot of money x

Are you insured? If you are, the insurance will at least cover some of it because of the infection. It's also possible that, if you say the spaying was due to the infection, the insurance may cover all of it.

Poor little girl, she'll be home & right as rain before you know it.

Insurance ( john lewis ) will not pay as it's classed as spaying... They will not pay for complications derived from the spay...

They will pay for the antibiotics and pain relief related to the infection, but not the spay.... She got antibiotics and pain relief on Tuesday for the infection which cost 78 pounds, but the access is 75 pound so not worth claiming..

Here spay is more today because of her infection, apparently it's 90 pounds for each extra half hour in theatre....

But you know what guys if it was 3 thousand pounds we would pay, and if she's okay at the end...... She's worth every penny

I was just wondering if you could say that she was being spayed because of the infection?

My insurance won't pay for neutering unless it's considered a medical necessity.

No they won't pay, it is in the policy document, guess it don't help that we had a spay booked for the 19th anyway..... So we'd feel guilty claiming....

Shame.

I wouldn't feel guilty, that's what you're paying your premiums for!

Just rang vet for an update, sat in tears cos i'm so proud of my baby girl....

Said she's been an total gem and great with them, she keeps looking for strokes and fuss even though she's sedated.... I knew she would

She's going to theatre in ten mins so they will ring straight after surgery, within the next 90 mins ...... Bless her

I'm glad everything seems to have worked itself out in the end.

I know you'll be a nervous wreck for the next couple of hours, but try not to worry too much, she'll be fine & it's all for the best.

>< she'll be back before you know it, and back to herself

Good luck Chloe

Awww...thinking of you and your girl. They usually bounce back quite quick. She'll be back to her normal self before you know it, but it does'nt stop us from worrying and fretting

Hugs to you both (only gently for Chloe)

Awww, I remember when Molly was being done an know what ya mean by a long day but she will be fine and they recover so fast too.

I'm sure she will be fine and back to her old self in no time

What a big brave girl Chloe is.......bet you will be glad just to get her back home with you... Bummer about the vet bill !
Sending you and Chloe a big cuddle !! ><

Hubby's just got toe down on M1 now to get her vet rang at 3 pm for her to be picked up, she's fine and been on bestest behaviour all day....

Should be home in about half hour as got to travel 40 miles from work, and he left at 3:05

bet you cant wait, glad everthing went ok Chloe is a star

Just want her home now, can't wait to see her..... Boy it's been a hard day today..

Big hugs from me for when she gets home......it's such a nice feeling to have them back home again.

When can you pick her up??

Okay guys she's home very sleepy.. Managed to get her to eat a tiny bit of chicken, but she's refusing water.... She is still on antibiotics and some painkiller to be given once a day.. bless her she's lying next to me crying just a little, makes you feel bloody helpless. The hardest bit is keeping Blake away and occupied

Bless her, must be a relief to have her home, Blake wants his big sis back! Well its all done with now so just the recovery to go through, could you put Chloe in her crate so she can sleep, or Blake (not sure if you use one!) Lots of hugs to her xx

Settled them both for the night now, Chloe's on my bed sleeping like a baby.. managed to get her to drink a little goats milk... And a couple of sips of water. She has had a little bit more chicken and rice. Blake asleep in his crate, and confused by everything going on.. Hopefully things will get normal tomorrow

It will be, have a good nights sleep, it'll be different tomorrow, you'll have 2 dogs to keep still

glad she is back safe and sound XX

how is chloe feeling this morning, hope she had a good night last night

She slept right through the night and is still in bed!! She isn't eating nor drinking, it's becoming a worry now. It's a case of no food or drink, no meds.. Any tips on how to get her to atleast drink a little ?

If she likes the goats milk then by all means let her have some. It'll provide some nutrients as well.

She'll probably start to eat & drink more once the anaesthetic has properly worn off. It can take quite a few hours.

Thanks Caryll, she's a pain for going off her food and drink.... She did the same thing when we got Blake, its her way of protest I think.... She made me laugh earlier, lol. I heard her bark, she was upstairs on the bed, so I went up and she looked at me as if to say " carry me down then i'm poorly you know" I carried her down, she had a wee went to the stairs for a carry up.... Little bugger

who can blame her! At least she is asking and not running round like a nutter, hope Blakes giving her some peace, lots of hugs frm us Xx

awww bless her hope she feels all better soon xxx

How can you say that, you cruel person! She's a poor wounded little girl & needs to be spoiled rotten!

How's she doing now..? Hope she's had a little more to drink/eat.
Is Blake coping with the separation or have they had a little time together?
Finger's X'd you are doing ok

Still refusing food and drink... And meds

Going to give her till 4 pm and ring vet, she's crying a bit and panting a lot... Feel so helpless

Just rang vet, and her gums are the wrong colour apparently so got to take her to vet at 5:20

hope everthing goes ok, fingers crossed

><

Still wont eat or drink, vet has given us a syringe to spray into her mouth... No easy task, she has no trust in us now lol

Poor girl, it will get easier, I hope, are they sure she is definatly fine after everything, Xx

Glad to hear that chloe is doing ok. how Ru today? i bet you didn't sleep well for worrying even though shes back with you. has blake been ok with her? xx big hugs to you all xx
