At four and a half years old, Molly, my toy pup finally got spayed. I have been dreading getting her fixed because every time I go to the vet they print out this sheet with very big numbers on it of how much it will cost. The vet also recommended a teeth cleaning, which is also very costly because they have to be under anestesia.
Pomeranians like Molly and other small breeds have very bad teeth (which causes atrocious bad breath). Unfortunately, Molly’s bad breath is a result of a very progressive stage of periodontal disease, which is irreversible because the disease rots the teeth and bone. Over an hour and a half of anesthesia; several stitches; eight X-rays; minus two ovaries and four teeth; and $1,503.88 dollars less in my bank account, Molly was allowed to come home.
Last night was rough, as the little stinker was very sore and completely out of it, so we made her a little nest of pillows and blankets on the floor.
Twenty four hours later she is on her way to a fast recovery, eating and even wanting to play with her toys. This face is worth every penny.

Glad to hear she is doing well and getting back to herself. That was a rough day! For Mommy and Molly.

Molly’s such a cutie!
I remember going through that with my baby Chi-a-poo Isabella.
My Bella just hated the cone collar!
She wasn’t even a year old at the time….
