Speuters for Primo and Tater- done!

April 8th, 2009 • Related • Filed Under

Well,  today was Tater’s spay and Primo’s neuter. This is actually the fourth appointment we’ve had for Primo’s snip job…the first time, we completely forgot about the appointment. The second time, his blood didn’t clot in the pre-surgery blood testing so we had to run more blood panels and have them sent to Upstate Vet Specialists for a second opinion/interpretation. Once they gave the thumbs-up, we re-scheduled. Then Bodhi got sick and the vet recommended calling off all surgeries until we were sure no sickness was running through the pack and we ruled out canine flu.

I was a nervous mommy dropping them off this morning, but I know the spay/neuter surgery is in their own best interest (and my peace of mind!). When I picked them up this afternoon, the doc said Primo came through with no problems whatsoever. Tater did great with the surgery as well, but her uterus was unusually long so her spay incision is quite a bit larger than it normally would be. Poor girl…it really is long incision :(

Both hounds were given the once over by the pack and then went off to rest. They’ll be on pain medication for the next few days, but I’m sure they’ll both make a quick recovery.
