Yesterday, our local club picnic was postponed until today. So today should be a really fun day for Shama, running around with a dozen or so other Havanese, including KarMar's Mario and Nino.
Then, tomorrow, Shama is getting spayed. (We waited until after her first heat as advised by our breeder and an agility trainer.)
Should I leave her bow in when I take her to the vet, or will they have to remove it anyway? (Not the bow seen in attached photo, which was taken on July 15.)
Our breeder said we can keep her in a human infant's onesie after the surgery so that she can't access her incision but is more comfortable than being in a cone. Has anyone tried that? (We already purchased a cone, so we don't need advice on that unless you think there's something we really need to know.) She weighs 6.8 pounds.
Any other advice for after the surgery? She will be kept overnight by our vet, and we'll bring her home on Tuesday.
No horror stories, please (unless you think there's something we really need to know). We're a little nervous, so thanks for your support.
(Our groomer said to request that her leg not be shaved to put in the IV. Not sure how much of her long coat will have to be shaved . . .)
