Gibby is having his neuter on Tuesday as well as having a few teeth removed to make his mouth more comfortable. To say I’m nervous is an understatement. I’m a wreck to say the least. This dog has been such a little light in my life, a spark of joy. I’ve been praying relentlessly to my Gods and Goddesses and placing offerings and lighting candles to see him safely through. I will keep everyone updated of course. I’m apprehensive of how he will handle being in a cone, I may ask for some at home sedation. Thankfully the majority of his cleft has come together on its own, not fully closed but more of a slit than a full on opening. But he has some anxiety with being handled by anyone that isn’t me and gets very overwhelmed and overstimulated and will cause himself massive nosebleeds so I’m hoping with my background and for his safety, that the vet will allow me some special circumstantial courtesies if he starts to show any of that. I’m not typically the psycho pet parent, but there are some of mine that I do go a bit overboard on, Gibby has well earned that.
