sheena Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 My girl is booked in for xrays under a GA for the morning. I got a message from the vet late this afternoon to remind me that she is to fast from 6 tonight. I gave her an early dinner, but it is so hot & looks like it will be a hot night. It seems cruel to not let her drink water....but what do you do. The vets are closed,so I can't get hold of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Spotted Devil Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 When mine have had GAs they’ve had access to water. Just don’t exercise them hard so they aren’t guzzling. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheena Posted February 15, 2018 Author Share Posted February 15, 2018 Thanks everyone. I took her water away first thing this morning & told the vet when I took her in. She assured me that was fine. Bindi was so excited when she got to the vets...jumping & spinning around, like she had never had a sore leg. She has always liked going to the vets. It was a different face though when I handed over the lead & told her to be good & I would see her later 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They thought she might have had cruciate damage, but thankfully, couldn't find any, so no op is necessary. She does however, have osteo arthritis in both hips. So now she is on those magic pills for ever & a day. She thinks she is a puppy again. So much for giving her Rose Hip Vital everyday for 7 years 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I have a girl with HD and my male with Osteoarthritis is an elbow) Carprofen but she had to have a blood test done first for kidney disease. Lucky that came back 100% OK 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
