If you have been reading a lot of posts lately about anaesthetic and your dog is due to have one it puts some concerns in your mind.
All you can do is go with what feels right for you and your pet.

Go with your instinct :)

You have already had one done, so have the other one done too!  You have probably read a lot more and are more aware of problems that can happen, which is what has made you worry.  Remember thousands of dogs are operated on a year.  You only get to hear about the minority that go wrong, same with us humans. The chances of a problem with either of these operations is remote. I certainly don't think it is a sign, just your jitters. :-)

thanks all for reply's am gonna go ahead and get her done ,am dreading tuesday now think it will be extra long walk 4 me and molly keep r minds busy
thanks dina xx

hi all just 2 let u no libbi went in this morning have just called vets and they said she's not 2 bad is asleep at the mo ahhh bless.the house seem's so quite without her,still have molly here but she is so laid back will just sleep all day
thanks 2 u all xx

Good news :) She'll be home soon and then the pampering can begin :)

Glad everything went ok. I will be fretting just the same when Maddie goes in December. Mind you she's 'been under' enough times now bless her so hopefully this will be just routine and I won't worry too much  :) Huh!

My pup has to have his rear dewclaws off & I'll be just as bad then It's just because we feel so much for our babes

hi. got libbi home safe and sound,legs bandaged up bandage on her stomach bless her,got her settled in her bed .now im no good with blood and things was trying to be brave 4 her ,came over all hot and dizzy ended up fainting and smacking me head on th porch door spent most of the night on the sofa when all i wanted 2 do is be with her.

OH MY GOD!!! :-(  What are we going to do with you!  Poor you.  I hope that you are BOTH up and about soon. (It's all over with now)

lol yes better today thanks ,just a bit of a headache. libbi has decided she doesn't want her bandages on anymore and has tried to rip them of lol.she's asleep in the sun at the mo so am having 5 mins on here

guess what back of 2 the vets in a bit libbi has ripped both her bandages of .just talking 2 them made feel quezy(sp)

I think it must be lampshade time for libby then!  Hopefully the vet has fitted her with this very fashionable accessory. :-)

back again , and my she looks attractive new green bandages and alovely lampshade not really her colour though lol.paid £200 for her yesterday and then they charged another £15 to redo the bandages does this sound steap? have put some pics on flickr

Glad that Libby is now back and re-dressed.  Unfortunately the vet will have charged you for his time + bandages, it varies, mine charges £9 just to walk through his door!  So it is probably about right. Good luck, let's hope a speedy recovery now.

You gotta feel sorry for them in those collars, they have to re-judge how to get through doors etc, the times I got hit in the back of the knee!! :D Feeling sorry for Molly at the mo, she's on 'cage rest' (crucia ligaments) so she can't get to my grand-daughters high-chair and scrounge for scraps :) though I am surprised at how well she's taken to it.
Glad to hear you're ok aswell ;) and wishing a speedy recovery to Libby
