Per my Christmas wish we did get Dusti spayed today!
No more heat cycles or possibilities of accidental breeding! Yay!
I thought I'd seen it all when I learned about "silent heat" . . . . which Dusti tried to pull off on us this time around with almost no bleeding or "warning" signs. But she finally came around and she was swollen and my neutered male was TRYIN his best to get jiggy (he's been neutered since he was a pup so no leftover swimmers to worry about) so I told the vet that we wanted to get her done but we could wait till she came out of heat. They said they would do it anyway, but an extra $30 charge for extra fluids. Ok we can do that, I really wanted to get her done before everyone takes off for Christmas vacations.
So when I go to pick her up they said she wasn't in heat so no extra charges. WTH? I know she didn't bleed much, but all the male dogs in the area sure couldn't all be wrong. Maybe she was at the very end of her cycle as I didn't get a good "day count" on it this time around, but really now.....
Eh. I guess I should be glad it didn't cost extra
but kinda make me wonder about my vet...
