My girl Dutchess is having surgery tomorrow. She is 11, and in pretty decent health. Spunky, relatively active, a bit chonky. No big issues we know of except for a bit of arthritis. She has a mass that needs to be removed near her anus. She goes in early for blood tests to ensure she's stable enough for surgery, and then surgery itself. We are looking at some risks due to age, hemoraging, and fecal incontinence. I have cried on and off since Saturday. I'm just so scared and anxious. It makes it even worse she will have to stay the night at the vet, and she has never spent the night at a vets (or kennel) before. She hates going too, and I just feel like an absolute wreck. I don't know what to expect, I don't know if she'll be ok, and I hate that I can't tell her what's going on. Not really sure what I hope to gain by writing this, just feel pretty sucky today. If anyone has any helpful, uplifting things to say I'd be happy to hear them.
