So finally Lillabelle is getting spayed. I know it is very late and I feel bad but we have had to cancel it month on month due to money or health issues.
She gets spayed on Thursday so could you please send some vibes for her.
We have got her protective T-shirt ready. We had a few giggles looking up funny pix of dogs and cats in protective suits. Yes we are very childish!
We are going to ask the vet if they would put the suit on Lillabelle while she is recovering as it seems easier plus we are too scared!
Lillabelle is like a cat when she gets scared growling and scratching and kicking as we found out soon enough She bites aswell so gets a bit scary sometimes. She is best handled with 4 paws on the bed which I know is the best way but we do need to half pick her up to check her properly and she hates it still. She is still pretty nervous.
Chief can be picked up to do his bottom etc as he is very laid back. But Lillabelle is pretty good as long as you don't touch her bottom or tummy. And therein lies the problem of putting on her suit. But I assume we will need at least another suit as back up which we will get at the vets probably?
I will be having a read at posts about spaying which I hope are easy enough to find. But if anyone has useful info they wish to add then feel free. I know you need to protect her stitches and she has to stay in a cage for a while which is 8ft by 4ft. Would that be about right or should we make it smaller? It is made of panels so we can change it. She would try and jump on our bed if we let her out so need to keep her in a cage for now.
I am thinking we keep them both together all the way through her spay process so Chief would need to stay in the cage aswell but we will let him out for a run possibly if he seems like he needs it.
We are steam cleaning the carpet and we have lots of sheets and blankets we can put on thefloor. We keep hay and water on a large tray which has room to lie on. Should we cover that aswell so Lillabelle does not lie on it. I am thinking she will need a soft floor?
And yes could you please send plenty of vibes for Lillabelle and pray we can finally get her sorted. Thank you everybun
