Yea my vet called me back the very next day about anesthesia and other things. We talked for a good half hour and he even went into length why ketamine is controversial etc. It was nice of him to restore my faith in him since he hasn't spayed for me in 5 years or so.
Heating pad!!!!!!! Awesome idea!!! I feel like a nut for not thinking of that! I will defintley make sure she is warm. I'm taking her clothed obviously and her baby blanket but when they give me my reminder call today Ill make sure they are set to ensure she stays warm.
Sleep without my Jimmy?? No way!! Not to mention his child is severe ADHD and needs jimmys help getting ready in the morning. He has to force him to brush his hair and teeth an go potty and its just a hour long fight,,I'm not signing up for that, I got my own worries!! lolLiving outside of Chicago, we have our share of snow. I have a small car that is rear wheel drive (NO traction in snow)... My rule of thumb is just.... take it slow and don't stress..
Maybe Jimmy can sleep at his cousin's?? You can drive him tonight to eliminate that step... Then take son to school early (it's not like he's little - he'll be fine). Problem solved.
Just thinking that if you postpone it, you may still have the same situatuation since you only have one car... and the weather is always a crapshoot!! For all you know, the snow may not even be that bad tomorrow...
But play it by ear.... Just wanted to make some suggestions:Laugh:
That is a good idea. I'll have to get Jimmys permission first as they are connected at the hip at night, I get bit even if I put my arm around him at night. lol It would also help solve the problem of taking Snuffie's food too after 6pm tonight. She isn't going to like that at all!! When she wants something and doesn't get it she walks around all the tables and counters knocking stuff over as she goes. Its sort of comical until Jims drink goes a tumbeling!! lolCan't you drop SoBe of the night before ? Maybe that's an option...
Good luck tomorrow
Oh I will, I'll be on here all day tomorrow I'm sure.
**Update**
Surprisingly last night went considerably well with feeding times changed before 6pm, however, Snuffie was begging by 3am. Major playtime took place which made me crawl out of bed around 3:30am where I played with them to keep them semi quiet while everyone else could sleep.
Snuffie was happy to eat after I got SoBe in her carrier tho, she is now napping.
So our journey began..........
Sobe is such a brave little girl. I set her carrier out so she could sniff it out while I ran Jimmy and his son where they needed to be.
SoBe decided to inspect her carrier to ensure safe travels since Nofuratu's recent ordeal
She checked all over
Snuffie stepped in and did outside inspection and final goodbyes
We drove the 20 minutes with barely any cries and got her weight when we got there. I put on her the scale and she ran off!!!! I had to go chase her down, lol It was comical.
Then she ran off into the arms of one of the vet techs and didn't even say goodbye.
I made sure they had everything set and also ensured they do the pre-anesthesia screening.
Now I'm waiting between 12pm and 2pm for them to call. I was in tears by the time I got back out to the car. lol
After that we pick her up around 5pm to come home. I can't wait!! I miss her already.
Yay for things going well...what a relief! Now maybe you can relax a little and be ready to "baby" your baby when it's time to go home.
Do you know what kind of anesthesia they ended up using?? Just curious.
