Spaying Surgery For Puppies - The Big Day

For a puppy about the age of 4 or five months - the right time to get it fixed - the procedure of surgery could be very nerve-racking. For the owner of that puppy, it is decidedly much more so. The pain, discomfort and emotional toll of watching a brand new puppy go via being spayed/neutered is tough, but could be dealt with by being as ready as possible for the big day. 

Prior to 
Prior to the surgery (generally at the consultation), speak together with your vet about what you can do to ease the anxiety of the pup and your self. If your puppy is especially high-strung, the vet may be in a position to prescribe a low dose anxiety medication for the large day. Make sure the puppy has a good morning before the surgery, and lavish him with love. Pack the materials you'll need for the ride home - a comfortable bedding spot, pillow, chew toy, treats, and so forth. Having everything you will need for the big day will assist significantly in being ready. 

During 
Once your pooch has been put under and the surgery is underway, you may really feel like losing your mind whilst you wait. Nevertheless, it's important to stay distracted. Remind your self that your vet is excellent (you chose the vet, after all) and this is a routine surgery with minimal risks. Bring along a book or crosswords to total and look forward to seeing your puppy again with happiness and not anxiety. The period during the surgery ought to be your most calm since dealing with a post-surgery pooch is not there however. Make your puppy's bed in your vehicle as comfy as possible so you'll be ready, and politely ask the assistant to let you know when the surgery is complete. 

After 
Of the various parts of the big day, the portion of time you spend with your pup after will probably be the most critical. Any post-op pet will need to be observed keenly for some time afterward to make sure everything is fine. You might be tempted to get excited about seeing your new bundle of fur following the surgery rather than listening to the vet's directions, but resist this temptation. Listen carefully, taking notes if need be, to what the vet tells you about how the surgery went, what recovery is expected to be like and any special instructions for this individual case, like an ointment to put on or particular symptoms to show.
