Yeah, it’s much different than for a puppy. There is so much more tissue that needs to be removed.. and it’s loaded full of blood vessels.
This is why we did this at three and not any older. The risk is much greater.
With this breed, we went against what a lot of people said and waiting for them to mature to have the benefit of their estrogen for bone growth. They are so well built and are solid little dogs.
She did a beautiful job. We were very pleased. Already, it’s fading. She had her stitches out on Friday and is very happy to be running around like a loon..
I can almost hear her singing “No more heat pants! No more heat pants!”
OMG. I had no idea. Poor baby. She will probably flash that scar at you for years to come.
I’m sure you explained that it was all for the good…

Looks like your vet did a nice, neat job. It should heal well and in a a year, will be very faint.

Yikes! Glad to know she’s off and running.

I know it looks scary but she really wasn’t bothered by them at all. She’s a bit of a drama queen.
How is she feeling? The incision looks quite nice… The vet did a good job :).
Lora’s last blog post..A HUGE THANK YOU!!!
She’s back to her lunatic self. I can’t keep her still! Not that I need to any longer.
Yesterday, she threw herself at the couch, flipped around in mid air and landed, nicely at my side facing forward.. then leaned in for a big kiss!
It’s always traumatic (for us) when the dogs have to undergo anaesthesia (sp?). So glad to know she’s recovering well. It’s a lovely scar!
