It was time for the puppies to go to the vet's. Both of them were scheduled to be fixed and while the little male did well, the female presented some issues.
"She's starting to go in heat," the vet told Simone. "We can still perform the surgery but you'll have to make sure that she stays away from male dogs for at least the next two weeks."
"Okay," agreed Simone.
"Plus she has a hernia. Did you want us to remove it while we're going in?"
Simone gulped. Poor little puppy! But she agreed to the additional operation immediately.
"Did you want microchips put in? We have a sale right now. Only $20."
Simone turned the microchips down.
The female recuperated poorly from the operation and had to go back in a couple of days later.
"She's healing poorly," said the vet. "Give her this. And this."
Her exam and medication cost more than getting her fixed! Sigh... At least she seems to be feeling better now.
