Millie's going in tomorrow morning at 9am to be spayed.

I have to say, I'm really not looking forward to it I feel quite mean for some reason.

I think I will take a for a little walk as usual first thing and then drive straight to the vets afterwards, rather than coming home for breakfast. I obviously have to leave her at the vets, which she will not enjoy and will get distressed. (You should have heard the noise she made at the weekend, when I popped into a cafe to grab a take away coffee )

I know its a silly question, but do you think she'll remember and not trust me to take her to the vets again!

I have to take her NI food in too, as they only have kibble or tinned.

Thanks for all the nice posts and reassurances that Millie wont hate me or the vet.

Vests are bought and waiting, hoping 18-24 months will be ok. I asked the lady in the shop if I could borrow a tape measure as I wanted to measure from the underarm to the hip. She looked a bit confused, so I explained they were for my dog. I'm sure she didn't hear me, as she just acknowledged it in a cursory manner :talktohand:

She'll probably realise what I said hours later, then she'll be confused. lol

Millie's back. Feeling quite washed out and subdued, which is fine. Thought I'd share this photo with you. She hasn't budged in the last hour

Vest only just fits !

Ooh that looks a bit tight, bless her!! Is she bigger than you thought then?

I hope she perks up soon, she does look sorry for herself!

:hug: xxx

Millie hasn't moved all evening, but just took her outside for a wee. She stood there a little wobbly but, no wee

But have rebuttoned her vest and it fits much better

Janet - hope Lolly is ok, I guess she's the same as Millie, completely washed out. :hug:

Just a quick update.

Millie is still tired, which I understand. she didn't want any food or water last night, but she has eaten her breakfast with gusto and had some water.

My only concern is that her girlie bits are bothering her (definitely not the operation wound). She diving at that, all jiggley like. I have noticed that they shaved that area too. On top of this, Millie hasn't been to the toilet since I got her home yesterday at 6pm I keep taking her outside, but no sign of wanting to go. I spoke to the vets and they said leave it until this afternoon, they didn't seem unduly concerned. Hmm, not sure about this

My son toook James back to the vet tonight. Who checked out Millie's lack of toileting. They still didn't seem too concerned. They checked her bladder and bowel and said both were fine and not full.

I'm going to have to get the bio yogurt in tomorrow, this is bothering me. But I guess there could be an outside chance that she is going and I'm missing it

On the upside, Millie is quite perky I'll leave out a puppy pad tonight, just in case everything suddenly kicks into action !!!

Has Millie suddenly changed name and ***!!

I hope Millie manages to go soon. We've been taking Lolly out into the garden on her lead (as advised by the vet to ensure she doesn't get to lively and bouny) so no chance we can miss it. She's done plenty of wee's today and eaten and drank well. She's beginning to feel like her old self again as well and even had a look at the stairs . I got nothing done in the house today (I didn't even bother to get dressed ) as I was trying to watch Lolly as much as possible and keep the household calm. I'm thinking tomorrow will be much harder than today trying to keep Lolly from jumping on the furniture and going upstairs.

On the plus side she is still taking herself off to her crate by herself to get comfy and rest

LOL, oops, right old typo. How about son James took Millie to the vet

I've had to work on and off today, so couldn't keep a 100% eye on her.

Millie has ran up the stairs a couple of times and for the first time ever jumped onto our bed !! So much for keeping her calm

Another quick update - Millie has been to the toilet :whoo:

She is full of beans and mischief again, yay.
