As part of the contract when we took Poppy on, we have to have her spayed. The op is tomorrow and no food after 9pm tonight and no water after 09:00 tomorrow. Poor lamb and we can't explain or ask for her opinion but I know what that would be.
I am sure she will be fine, have watched many a bitch spay and these days they make very small incisions. However, I understand how you must be feeling, but it is surprising how well they bounce back within a day.
Just waiting for the call - any time from 10:30 to 14:30. Amazingly Poppy has settled even with no breakfast although she did insist on climbing on my knee while I was having my breakfast tea. Not easy to balance a lab on a knee and drink tea at the same time.
