Trust your vet. I, too, own a little dog that I love very much and I've had to entrust her care to her vets more often than I'd like as she is diabetic and has health problems. When you get your dog back, make sure to spend as much time as you can with it at first as the trauma of undergoing surgery is very difficult for them to deal with, and follow each and every one of the vets' directions.
Be prepared for your dog to be a little 'snappy' even if it has never been that way before. Depending on how much pain or discomfort it is in, it might want to be left alone - it will want to be NEAR you, but not handled by you.
Everything will be okay. I'd love it if you'd let me know how it turned out and how your dog is doing, k?

He is better off getting the surgery if it is needed because the alternative would not be to good I am sure. So remember that he is in good hands and you are doing the right thing by your dog. Ok maybe some extra love when the surgery is over and when you are able get him/her a special treat.

Sweetie, just follow the vets directions to the letter! Tell your dog that you care. Gently stroke his/her head and speak softly. Don't do anything stupid, like try to feed the dog a treat for a bit. And most of all keep your dog as close as possible with the dogs comfort in mind. When my animals have surgery, I make them a very comfy pallett on the floor and spend a bit of time every day next to them. They are appreciative, I promise. You sound like a vey good person to care so much. I am thinking about your situation and you have my support. Take it easy yourself and just mind the vet. Sincerely, Nana

To a pet lover their pet is a part of the family and you worry because of that emotionional bond. If you trust your vet and he is competant and loving everything will probably come out just fine. Stay at the vets with your pet while he's doing surgery and be there when he wakes up so that he sees you first thing. Good Luck and all will be fine.

If you have a good vet then the dog will probably be fine. Dogs are amazingly resilient. Be sure you give the doggy a lot of loving care when he/she gets home and follow the diet the doctor gives you to a "T". My dog had a huge tumor in his side but after he was listless a few days he was fine. I fed him baby food chicken and turkey meats and was careful to avoid making him walk too much or strain himself. They do need to walk around slowly just avoid excitement for them.
Also, so not make the dog strain or play with the doggie unless he/she is well.
Make a nice clean soft bed for doggie to stay on and give lots of water to doggie.

I'm sorry you are worried. If the vet has told you it is going to be okay, then trust in that.
Is there someone you can call to talk to/hang out with you until the surgery is over? If not, try to keep busy while the surgery is going on to help the time pass. Go for a walk. Keep your body moving.
Best wishes.

My dog had to have this exact same surgery too! I worried too, but my dog turned out alright in the end. As long as the surgeon is well trained and experienced, your dog should be just fine. Good luck!

If she extremely is shaking from soreness and in soreness for all time then its time to enable her flow.

Sorry to hear about your pet,and hope all turns out well for you.All things are possible and I'm sure your vet is well trained in this,so probably no need to worry.Pets are like humans and each time they're sedated,you take the chance of them not pulling through,as I experienced this with my little Chihuahua a few years back,but you must prepare for that and know within yourself that you're just trying to do all for your pet you can.

It's good that you are doing all you can for your dog, and not just putting him down for your convenience! There is alot of risk with that surgery, so you have to be prepared for the worst. Good luck, and I am sure that all dog lovers here are thinking of you and your pet!
