Is My Dog Alright?

[Bindo]

Hi Hansky Mum - they should be fine. My little mini schnauzer was done last Thursday and as described earlier, was a bit out of sorts on the first two days and looked uncomfortable, but by Sunday was acting fairly normal (although I know she's far from healed). Maybe the fact that schnauzers are such good eaters, and rarely go off their food, helps as well with the recovery?

Lucy came to work with me today, so I could keep an eye on her stitches, but she probably would have got more rest at home! She had a lovely day, saying hello to everyone as they arrived and then trotting around to all the offices.

Good luck with your girls and let us know how they get on.

I've read this one too late, but if you're worried about how they will go under anesthetic, a pre-anesthetic blood test is always worth the peace of mind. They look for any health/dehydration issues that could affect the dog in surgery. I got a general health profile (expensive, but I was working at the vets at the time and got it cheap) done for my boy and I knew when he went under that he was 100% healthy. Was great to see the results too so I knew he didnt have any issues.
