I JUST got off the phone with the vet. Emma is done with her surgery and is sleeping. They said she did good. She'll be sent home with meds ( of course ) and they said because she was so small she shouldn't be trying to jump up on the couch. You know how determined these ratties are when they want something so she may be determined to stretch herself to jump. She'll be ready to come home around 4. But her daddy won't be there to get her till 4:30. I'd go get her myself but he has Apollo's bigger crate. I feel a little better now but won't feel completely better till I hold my little princess in my arms and kiss and hug her. Hey! Remind me not to squeeze to too hard! |

Glad to hear she's done and recovering!
Oh, and if you squeeze her too hard she will yelp. I know this because I DID squeeze Mayfly too hard after her spay.... |

I'm glad it all went well and she gets to come home tonight (my vet doesn't allow females to go home the same day). I'm sure both Emma and Apollo will feel better tonight just by being home and back together again. Can't wait to hear how she is this evening  |

| I'll bet that little sweet baby will let you hold her and kiss her as much as you want to tonight. Good luck keeping her from jumping and running around too much. |

I'm so happy to hear Emma is doing good!! Sorry if I missed it, but you seem to be doing a lot better this time! Give Emma lots of kisses from me and Mic when she gets home!! And I'm sure you'll spoil her big time so I don't need to remind you to do that  |

Yeah, even though I miss her like crazy, I guess the second time around is a lot easier. I know more of what to expect and everything. Although my tummy has been in knots all day. It helped being on here and doing some housework at the same time today. And I cuddled with Apollo too since he didn't want to play. |

| I'm sure Apollo will have to sniff Emma from nose to tail when she gets home. Wonder what she'll tell him about her adventure? |

Glad Emma seems to have done OK today. I actually had to crate Button when I picked her up from her spay. She just wanted to bounce off the walls and jump on/off furniture like she hadn't had any surgery at all! I walked her every couple of hours that evening and let her have free run of the house the next day
Zipper, on the other hand, was a lot more sore and actually wanted to be crated & left alone for two whole days after her spay. She was growly & "cranky" with Button & us. Vet techs said she yelped so when she came out of the anesthesia they had to give her morphine to keep her calmed down. But I think that's pretty unusual.
Button & Zipper send puppy hugs to Miss Emma & best wishes for an easy, speedy recovery! . |

She'll tell Apollo her ordeal and he'll say "See I told you needle man was bad."

Yeah, actually I hope Emma will want to be crated. That way too Apollo won't want to play with her and get her all excited.
Thank you for the well wishes!  |

| I'm glad Emma did ok. I had to leave Bailey all night when she was spayed and I worried about her all night. She acted pretty much the same the next day except she couldn't jump up on the bed or couch. And she didn't try it either, just stood there waiting for me to pick her up. |

Awww - poor little Emma. I'm sure Apollo will tell her how to "milk" it for a few days - got to get something out of seeing the big, mean needle man, right??? |
