Yes, I’m going to weekly updates on the puppy since we’ve been more than 5 weeks without a seizure. If we get to Feb 8 I’ll go to monthly.
In any case, all is good. She’s a bit rambunctious still. I’m wondering if that has to do with waiting to spay her. We’ve never gone past 6 months before. But the new “standard” is to wait for the first heat. I’m not sure if we can wait that long.
In Las Vegas Valley, the consensus is to spay them at about four months of age, and not wait for the first heat. It seems their thinking on it is it’s more damaging emotionally to the pet.
I waited for a first heat on Hobbes before taking her in, but after almost three weeks, she wasn’t actually over it, and the vet was extremely surprised. So was I. At that moment, I had to toss everything I learned in Veterinary Office Assistant classes about spaying and neutering.
In this case, for what it’s worth, I think you should do what YOU think is best.
Happy Friday, ArGee.
We got a phone fall from Elen, USMC, who found out from Drama Queen who found out from Patrick that we are infected. I’m superindustrially furious with Patrick, but I’ll get over it if he gets himself squared away to start Shakespeare by 9:00 a.m. EST.
Anyway, Elen is fine, except for boredom. She’s had one dose of a two-dose vaccine, which is nice. She didn’t get her book yet.
