Does the surgery become higher risk as the dog gets older?
When I got my cat spayed at 5 1/2 years old (or so) she was considered "high risk" and they took all kinds of special precautions with her.
Ghost is only 2 1/2 but I have to drop him off in a few hours and my mind is already thinking of all the things that could go wrong. They will do a blood test first to make sure everything is ok for the procedure but I'm already nervous and I haven't even dropped him off yet.
I don't know how I'm going to just sit by my phone for several hours this afternoon waiting to hear that everything went ok and I can pick him up.
My poor baby boy......
