Operations and bonded pairs

Hi everyone,

I took in an abandoned stray female (Rhubarb) and then adopted a neutered male from the rescue who she's been bonded with 2 months.

I have now worked up the motivation to take Rhubarb to be spayed (eek). She is going to have to stay at the vets overnight for monitoring after the op. Should I ask if Smartie can stay overnight with her? I mentioned it at the vet and they said they don't usually let the friend stay too but I got the impression they would have them both if I requested it.

Thanks for any advice!
 
I'd take them both. It's brilliant for the bond and means you don't need to rebond later.
Personally I wouldn't go to a vets that won't accept the other bonded partner but that's my opinion.
